Drummer/vocalist Rhonda Grindell, made 'band-history', joining 'The Kootz' as it's first female-member, in the spring of 2017...

Born & bred in the Brooklyn, NY... a 'project' of the inner-city, Rhonda began to gain musical-influences while attending Sheepshead Bay High School, where she graduated in 1976.

Some early-musical inspiration came in the form of Motown and groups like The Temptations and The Four Tops, as well as Sly and The Family Stone; Rhonda cites Sly's original-drummer, Gregg Errico as an early-influence... On the pop music-side, she was deeply taken with the vocal, as well-as percussive performing-efforts of Karen Carpenter.

Rhonda has been a driving-force in the many bands she has performed with. Often-described by band-mates as an "in the pocket" percussive-force, RG's musical-resume includes 'residencies' in a variety of musical-situations over the years. Rhonda has played with acts that have opened for The Eurythmics , Mary Wilson and The Coasters, to name a few! She also lent her drumming-talents to the off-Broadway-musical, "Nunsense".

As the 'heartbeat' of several all-female touring-bands, such as 'La Femme', 'Roxanne' and 'Precious', Rhonda has traveled the country, 'wowing'-audiences not only in the tri-state area, but nationwide! Some more-recent projects have included 'City Sounds Music', 'Diamonds in Jupiter' and 'fellow-Koot' Keith Theall's R&B band, 'Soul Groove'.

In addition to her 'lock-in-groove'-drumming, this beat-girl's soulful-vocals provide an added-dimension to the vocal-harmonies of 'The Kootz', as well as 'opening the door' to material not-previously covered!

Rhonda is happily-married and is a resides with her family in Union County, New Jersey! C'mon-out and see this amazing, 'barrier-breaking'-'Koot-ette'!
