Coppock-Hole
sponsors DCCA’s Rhonda Vincent & The Rage
Darke County Center for the Arts thanks the Coppock-Hole Trust for
sponsoring the 2017-2018 “ARTS COUNT“ season and the sold out Artist
Series presentation of Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, at Henry St.
Clair Memorial Hall, Saturday, January 20. DCCA recognizes the Coppock
Hole Trust for their longstanding and generous support of the arts in
Darke County. “DCCA is grateful for the continued generosity of the
Coppock-Hole Trust, which provide opportunities for cultural enrichment
in our community,” stated Andrea Jordan, DCCA Executive Director. The
Coppock-Hole Trust has been a sponsor of DCCA programs for over 30
years as well as supporting the preservation of the Henry St. Clair
Memorial Hall as an important cultural center.
Darke County Center for the Arts continues their 2017-2018 season with
bluegrass singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Rhonda Vincent
and her band The Rage. “Rightfully known as ‘Queen of Bluegrass,’
Rhonda Vincent and her award-winning voice reach beyond the boundaries
of bluegrass to power a show that thrills lovers of music from any
genre,” stated DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “And her band, The
Rage, includes some of the greatest musicians in the world,” Rawlins
continued. “DCCA is truly pleased to bring these outstanding artists to
our community,” he concluded.
Rhonda’s band, The Rage, consists of Aaron McDaris, who has been called
the premier banjo player in the world of Bluegrass music. Other members
of The Rage include fiddler Hunter Berry, who is not only a top-rated
musician, but also Rhonda Vincent’s son-in-law, and dobro player Brent
Burke, the first person to ever receive a B.A. in Bluegrass Music.
Multi-instrumentalist Mickey Harris, a thirteen-year member of the
band, also sings any and all vocal parts, a skill also possessed by
Josh Williams who also plays almost every instrument well.
Don and Mary Jane Dietrich, The Bistro Off Broadway, Greenville
National Bank, and Greenville V.F.W. Post #7262 are also sponsoring the
sold out concert by Rhonda Vincent and the Rage. Additionally, the Ohio
Arts Council helps fund this program with state tax dollars to
encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural
enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from
the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the
Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund. DCCA
