While their age offers a visual aesthetic true to Van Halen in their prime\, their sound also reflects the same shredding Eddie guitar solos\, rock solid rhythm section\, and the whaling two-tone screams reminiscent of David Lee Roth’s voice. Featuring a variety of hits and deep cuts off of the first 6 albums\, JUMP’s live show includes a selection of skits and one liners portrayed by Van Halen from bootlegs of their live shows between 1978-1984. \nExperience an embodiment of the David Lee Roth era of Van Halen and immerse yourself in YOUTH\, NOSTALGIA AND ROCK ‘N ROLL.

SUMMARY:EVERETTE AND BEN CHAPMAN AT RENFRO VALLEY
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in country\, rock & roll\, southern storytelling\, and heartland hooks\, Everette is glued together by two Kentucky natives who write their own songs\, play their own instruments\, and proudly blur the boundaries between themselves and their audience. For the boys\, music is all about community. It’s about connection. That’s why the duo’s motto — “We are Everette” — isn’t just a statement about the musical bond shared by bandmates Brent Rupard and Anthony Olympia. It’s a reference to the communal bonds they share with their fans\, too.

SUMMARY:RHONDA VINCENT AND THE RAGE AT RENFRO VALLEY
DESCRIPTION:Rhonda Vincent is a firecracker of talent that powers one of the hottest bands in any genre of music today. From humble beginnings in the tiny town of Greentop\, Missouri\, Rhonda’s musical heritage traces back 5 generations of the Vincent family. Her dad would pick her up from school each day\, and they would sing and play till dinner. After dinner\, friends came over\, and they would sing and play till bedtime. She began her professional music career singing in her family’s band The Sally Mountain Show. It was an immediate “on the job training\,” as they had a TV show\, radio show\, and made their first recording when Rhonda was 5 years old. She picked up the mandolin at eight\, the fiddle at twelve\, and learned a valuable life lesson as a teenager performing with her\nfamily at Silver Dollar City in Branson\, Missouri. While they were playing in the pouring rain to empty seats\, and what they thought\, no one listening — a week later they received a call from Hal Durham\, general manager of the Grand Ole Opry at the time\, and who just happened to be listening with his family around the corner. Mr. Durham loved what he heard and invited the Vincent family to appear on the Opry. \nRhonda’s life of music evolved into a successful career in bluegrass music; after being discovered by Grand Ole Opry Star “Jim Ed Brown\,” and later spending what she calls her musical college years recording for Giant Records; and learning about the music business from Nashville’s best like James Stroud\, Jack McFadden\, and Stan Barnett. \nIt was her pivotal bluegrass album “Back Home Again” that transformed Rhonda\nVincent into the All American Bluegrass Girl\, and crowned the New Queen of Bluegrass by “The Wall Street Journal” in 2000. \nA multi-award winner\, with a 2017 Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album\, an Entertainer of the Year 2001\, Song of the Year 2004\, and unprecedented 7 consecutive Female Vocalist of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association 2000 – 2006 and an 8th win of IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year in 2015. \nHer lifelong dream came true when she was invited to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry on February 28\, 2020. Rhonda waited an unprecedented 345 days and was\nofficially inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry on February 6\, 2021.\nHer powerful vocal style transcends the boundaries of bluegrass music\, as evidenced in her collaboration with Dolly Parton on the Elton John / Bernie Taupin Tribute Project “Restoration” 2018.
