No Rhonda tonight at IBMA

Brance and I are backstage at the Opry, getting ready to live blog tonight’s International Bluegrass Music Awards. We just got word that Rhonda Vincent is feeling a bit under the weather, and won’t be able to perform on the show.

Russell Moore from IIIrd Tyme Out had been set to play guitar and sing with Rhonda tonight, and he will perform with The Rage in her stead.

Here’s a get well soon wish to Rhonda from The Bluegrass Blog!

UPDATE 9:10 p.m.: Rhonda’s daughter, Tensel, has posted some further details on her mom’s message board.
