Rhythm on the Rails May 30, 2025: The Kody Norris Show and Rhonda Vincent & The Rage
May 30th @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Kody Norris Show isn’t retro—they’re redefining bluegrass for a new era. Led by frontman Kody Norris, the SPBGMA Entertainers of the Year blend tradition with dynamic instrumentation and sharp songwriting. Their latest album, Rhinestone Revival, showcases hits like “Baltimore I’m Leaving” and “Fiddler’s Rock,” proving their sound is as fresh as ever. With members Josiah Tyree, Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris, and Charlie Lowman, they’re lighting up stages worldwide and starring in two RFD-TV programs. Dripping in rhinestones but looking forward, The Kody Norris Show is leading bluegrass into the future.
Rhonda Vincent is a bluegrass powerhouse, renowned for her fast-paced vocals and mastery of the mandolin, guitar, and fiddle. Starting in her family’s Sally Mountain Show at just five years old, she quickly earned respect in the bluegrass world. After a brief foray into country, she returned to her roots with Back Home Again in 2000, solidifying her status as the “Queen of Bluegrass.” A multi-time IBMA and SPBGMA Entertainer of the Year, Vincent continues to push the boundaries of the genre while staying true to its heart.
