Gretchen Rhodes

Gretchen Marie Rhodes (born April 24, 1977) is an American rock and blues singer, songwriter and producer. She is best known as the lead singer of the Mick Fleetwood Band.
Rhodes was born and raised in Hesston, Kansas, where she studied music from an early age. She settled in St. John, USVI in 2000 where she began singing full time with female rock and blues band, Nectar. While performing with Nectar, Rhodes met country music singer Kenny Chesney, with whom she'd collaborate later in her career.
In 2005, Rhodes moved to Maui where she met Fleetwood Mac drummer, Mick Fleetwood and started singing in his band. It was through Fleetwood that Rhodes would meet and perform with George Clinton, Steven Tyler, Pat Simmons and Willie K. It was also in Maui that Chesney's and Rhodes’ paths would cross again. In 2013, Chesney and Rhodes recorded "Happy on the Hey Now (A Song For Kristi)", featured on his award-winning "Life on a Rock" album. The two teamed up again in 2015 when Rhodes starred in Chesney's "Wild Child" music video, from his gold selling album "The Big Revival".
In 2018, Dave Mason and Steve Cropper invited Rhodes to be part of their Rock and Soul Revue. The trio toured the US throughout 2018, performing more than 60 shows and releasing two singles - “When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" and "The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys". Rhodes left the tour in 2019 to record her debut solo album, but reunited with Mason in 2020 to perform on his "Alone Together Again" album.
