JOURNEYS IN LIFE AND MUSIC WITH RHONDA VINCENT & ALLISON RUSSELL
It’s songs of solace and shelter, hope and joy as we visit with mandolin virtuoso Rhonda Vincent, from Greentop, Missouri, who grew up playing the bluegrass and country music circuit in her family’s bluegrass band and now plays the Grand Ole Opry with her own band, the Rage. Then, Montreal-born, Nashville-based singer, clarinetist and banjo player Allison Russell, on her journey to healing from childhood trauma through travels, words and music. Plus songs for weathering Hurricane Ida’s destructive route from the Gulf South to New York City by Allen Toussaint, Randy Newman and Fats Domino.
