Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes Greenville VFW Post 7262 as
a Spotlight Sponsor, for their contribution to the DCCA 2017-2018
season and the upcoming presentation of Rhonda Vincent & The Rage,
at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall,Saturday, January 20. According
to DCCA Executive Director Andrea Jordan, “DCCA is grateful for
Greenville VFW Post 7262's sponsorship, which helps enable our efforts
to provide culturally enriching experiences for the citizens of our
community.”
VFW Post 7262 was organized in May 26, 1946 by 208 founding members. In
1975 the Post moved to its current location that is owned by the Post.
In 1987 the Veteran Memorial Park was established. Besides the
Post members, the Post is fortunate to also include Men’s Auxiliary,
Ladies Auxiliary and the Booster members. After 70 years, the Post is
still giving back to the community and serving fellow Veterans.
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. The concert begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are
$25.
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.
