The Rhondas

About Me

"The three lovely young women who comprise the Rhondas sing like... well, like angels, a cliche that is well worth dusting off for these amazing vocalists. Their set mixed sweet romantic ballads with bawdy, double-entendre-laced up-tempo numbers. This is a great live act, well worth seeing." -The Elderly Brothers www.myspace.com/elderlybrothers

"Multi-instumentalists and vocalists Laurie Howard, Jen Maurer, and Sarah Rolan are dazzling audiences with their honey-laden voices, richly woven harmonies, and sassy smiles. Their blend of roots-based originals and covers is unlike any other. But don’t take our word for it - put on your best rhinestone shirt and cowboy boots, saddle up the grey, and come hear for yourself."
“How would I describe them? Hmmm...Fun, funky, vibrant, spontaneous...They’re fantastic! Plus they have a great name.” -Rhonda Kuster, local music affectionado and wardrobe designer

Sounds Like: Three 30-somethin’ gals from the sticks
dressed to the nines, country western garb
singin’, playin’ their hearts out
Stompin’ up and down on the stage

The Rhondas, they call themselves
Don’t know why, but the name fits
Means “noisy” in Welch
Maybe that’s why

Harmonizing, sweeter than honey
Songs ’bout backroads West Virginia
down an’ out factory workers, dirt-poor farmers
distraught mommas, agonizin’ over aimless kids

Just three ole country girls
See ‘em walkin’ barefoot down sunny dirt roads
Filling their lungs with music
Lettin’ it all out on a Sunday afternoon
