These collaborations have enriched her musical journey and added depth to her sonic palette. Rhonda’s music has graced the stages of iconic Bay Area venues, including Freight and Salvage, Yoshi’s, and SF Jazz, as well as historic festivals like the Concord Jazz Festival, KCSM Jazz on the Hill, and the Fillmore Jazz Festival.
