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.
Dailey & Vincent just released Dailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers, a 12-song collection of their bluegrass versions of some of the Statlers' best-loved songs, available exclusively at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and www.crackerbarrel.com. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums chart (issue date February 20). The album also entered the Billboard Top Country Albums chart at #19, earning the Hot Shot Debut and marking the duo's first top-20 debut on that chart. The album has landed the #1 spot on the Heatseekers Albums chart, for artists who have never appeared in the top 100 of the Billboard 200, or the top 10 of R&B/HipHop, Country, Latin, Christian or Gospel Albums charts. It also entered the overall Billboard 200 at #120.
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 recently won four SPBGMA Bluegrass Awards at the 2010 ceremony: Vocal Group of the Year, Gospel Group of the Year /Contemporary, Male Vocalist of the Year/Contemporary (Dailey) and Bass Fiddle Performer of the Year (Darrin Vincent).
Dailey & Vincent have been nominated for a Dove Award for Bluegrass Recorded Song of the Year for "On the Other Side," from their sophomore Rounder Records release, Brothers From Different Mothers. In addition, Darrin received a nomination as producer of Lord, Bless This House by Nothin' Fancy, which is up for Bluegrass Album of the Year. 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 Bluegr
