Some audio samples can be found below, but first, a little about Rhoda.

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, Rhoda’s days revolved around family, friends, the outdoors, wild adventures, and music. During a quick four years at Concordia College (where she was NOT asked to be in the choir) she followed in her grandma's footsteps and took to yodeling. She began to sing, write, but also found out that people were smitten with her yodeling. This lead to years of writing and recording two albums and performing in both large and quaint concert settings (including one remodeled chicken coop). Rhoda now finds herself married to a farmer, a mother to two sons, and living happily ever grateful on the banks of the Wild Rice River in northwest Minnesota. With a song in her heart, several guitars, a ukelele, mandolin, and sound system Rhoda is always up for an adventure and a gig. A favorite place she returns to frequently is northeast Minnesota near the Boundary Waters where she lived and worked for many years. It will come as no surprise that this place has inspired much of her music. Performing all over the U.S., Rhoda has met many amazing humans, and sung and played her heart out.

Frequently updated samples of Rhoda’s work can be found on her Facebook page.

Feature 1: Loonin (1997)

Original music recorded and written when Rhoda was in her late teens and early 20s. Loonin calls to her formative roots in northern Minnesota and what it’s like to see your friends and yourself grow and relationships change.

Feature 2: Lullaby Creek

Rhoda’s sophomore album comes from her 30s and 40s where her lullabies sing her kids to sleep and her joyful melodies take a beautiful and honest snapshot of friendship, motherhood, and the contentedness of just ‘being.’

Feature 3: Cover Sample

Rhoda’s brother Artie was a huge contributor to both albums. Artie occasionally joins Rhoda on the road too! This song appears on Rhoda’s second album, Lullaby Creek.
