Rhonda Vincent the Queen of Bluegrass
I saw her live last summer at Rockygrass....she was en fuego, and the band she has is phenomenal.
Her brother Darren is half of Dailey and Vincent (the guy on the left):

Rhonda is something special, for sure.
I'm a big fan of bluegrass (BG) and really enjoy listening to it.
I'm also a fan of Alison Krauss (traditional bluegrass) and Martina McBride (not bluegrass). While not in the vein of BG these are representative of their talent:
But I'm highly surprised nobody has yet to bring up the Kentuckian Sturgill Simpson.
He's put out 4 albums:
1) High Top Mountain
2) Metamodern Sounds In Country Music
3) A Sailor's Guide To Earth
4) Sound & Fury
...all have been different and unique while he garnered album OTY and artist OTY from his psychedelic 3rd album. Instead of resting on his laurels he came out with "a sleazy, steamy rock-and-roll record" for his 4th that is matched to his anime film on Netflix of the same name.
Because you can't put a square peg in a round hole, Sturgill continually morphs and has done so again with his return to his roots...bluegrass:
#Gator Bait
Amazing talent on this stage.
If that's the show you were at, you saw one of his better lineups. They've pretty much all been great, but your show had most of his best cast with him--back up vocalist Katie Kissoon was unreal during her time. She does the most outstanding back up on Wonderful Tonight from his "24 Nights" CD version you have ever heard. Not on the DVD, but the CD version. Kinda odd but that's they way they did it.I had grown up listening to Cream and Clapton and I knew he was a good guitarist, but I didn't really know just HOW good he is until I saw him live in concert... wow.
What a show:

Chuck Leavell on keyboards--surprised to see him in there, but he was one of the very best out there. Played with Allman Brothers for awhile, then did his own thing with a group called Sea Level....kinda short lived group. I was really following him years ago with ABB and Sea Level, and never knew he toured with Clapton. At any rate that was an exceptional lineup you got to see that night. And quite sure EC was playing very well.;)
