Dailey & Vincent is the pairing of well-known bluegrass performers Jamie Dailey, former lead singer and guitarist for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver; and Darrin Vincent, who before forming Dailey & Vincent was guitar and mandolin player and harmony vocalist with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. The New York Times called them “the most celebrated new bluegrass act of the last few years.” An October 9 Wall Street Journal feature on Dailey & Vincent (“A Bluegrass Duo Reigns Again”) began with, “A new dynasty may be taking shape in bluegrass music.” Completing Dailey & Vincent’s lineup are Jeff Parker on mandolin; Joe Dean on banjo, guitar and mandolin; Jesse Stockman on fiddle; and Christian Davis on bass vocals and guitar.

In addition to Entertainer of the Year, Dailey & Vincent took home 2009 IBMA Awards for Vocal Group of the Year and Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year, for “On the Other Side.” In 2008 they received IBMA Awards for Entertainer of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year, Album of the Year (for their self-titled Rounder release), Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year (for "By the Mark"), Emerging Artist of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year (Dailey) and Recorded Event of the Year, for Vincent’s participation in the Everett Lilly & Everybody and Their Brother project. No other artist has ever won Emerging Artist and Entertainer in the same year, a feat all the more incredible because the duo had released their debut album only a few months before that. They also won 6 SPBGMA Bluegrass Awards at the ceremony on February 15, 2009, including Bluegrass Band of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year and Song of the Year (for “By the Mark”).

Dailey & Vincent are honored to receive eight nominations for the upcoming SPBGMA Bluegrass Awards: Entertaining Group of the Year, Bluegrass Band of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year, Gospel Group of the Year /Contemporary, Entertainer of the Year (Jamie Dailey), Male Vocalist of the Year/Contemporary (Dailey), Bass Fiddle Performer of the Year (Darrin Vincent) and Mandolin Performer of the Year (Jeff Parker). The 36th Annual SPBGMA Bluegrass Music Awards will take place on February 7, 2010, at the Sheraton Music City Hotel in Nashville.

On February 1 Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® will release a new CD containing 12 of the legendary Statler Brothers’ most-loved songs recorded by Dailey & Vincent. This album, Dailey & Vincent Sing The Statler Brothers, features exciting and authentic bluegrass interpretations of songs from the Statlers’ repertoire and will be available exclusively at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store®.

Dailey & Vincent released their second Rounder album, Brothers From Different Mothers, on March 31, 2009. It debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Bluegrass Albums chart and was in the top 5 for 12 weeks. It was #1 for three consecutive months (October, November and December) on the Bluegrass Unlimited National Survey album chart. PopMatters included the album at #10 on its Best Bluegrass of 2009 list. Roughstock.com put it at #6 on the Top 10 Best Country Albums of 2009. It came in at #4 on Country Standard Time’s list of the top 30 CD’s of 2009, and WNCW placed it at #3 on its list of the top 50 CD’s of 2009. Keith Lawrence at the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer put Brothers at the top of his Best Bluegrass Albums of 2009 list, writing, “This is some of the best harmony singing — and some of the best Southern soul — you’ll hear this year. Period.”

Dailey & Vincent’s self-titled Rounder debut, released in 2008, was also critically acclaimed. The editors at The9513.com placed it at #15 on their list of the top 100 country albums of the decade.

On October 20 Dailey & Vincent released their first gospel album, a collection of a cappella songs called Singing From the Heart. The project began in 2001, long before Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent began their career as a duo. It was a labor of love, an album of a cappella spiritual songs honoring the Church of Christ’s practice of singing without instruments and benefitting the Tennessee Bible College in Cookeville, Tennessee, which is a Church of Christ institution.
