Rhonda Vincent & The Rage performed Saturday night, January 9, 2010, in St Louis, Missouri for a private performance before Missouri's Governor Jay Nixon and First Lady at the Missouri Governor's Conference on Agriculture.
The full bluegrass performance by the 5-time Grammy Nominee was the finale of the four day conference. Rhonda and husband Herb Sandker met with the Governor and First Lady before joining them for dinner. Following the dinner, the Governor made a very heartfelt presentation concerning the agricultural needs in Missouri; and celebrating the strides made by Missouri farmers. "I was so impressed by the Governor's enthusiasm, as shown by his growing the first garden at the Jefferson City Governor's mansion" Rhonda said as she traveled to her Kirksville, Missouri home, "And the first lady is bringing back the pie baking contest at the 2010 Missouri State Fair!"
A tribute to long-time Missouri Senator Christopher "Kit" Bond followed the Governor's presentation, then Rhonda & The Rage took the stage to close out the evening.
A mix of bluegrass favorites and special requests were played; as the Governor and First Lady danced, joined by many others in attendance. Rhonda & The Rage performed the Martha White Theme, and mentioned joining the First Lady for the pie baking contest.
Bluegrass continues to expand throughout Missouri, up the steps, and through the doors of our State Capitol.
