Dailey & Vincent Come to Fox Cities PAC, 1/20

Dailey and Vincent will come to Fox Cities PAC, January 20.

Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent (Dailey & Vincent) have taken the bluegrass world by storm since they launched their career as a duo in 2007 and signed with Rounder Records. They are the reigning three-time International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Entertainers of the Year, earning Vocal Group and Album of the Year honors along with the Entertainer title at the 2010 IBMA Awards in September 2010. The Album of the Year trophy recognized their Cracker Barrel/Rounder Records project, Dailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers, available exclusively at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. The 12-song tribute to the beloved quartet debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Bluegrass Albums chart, where it spent 9 weeks at #1 and 19 weeks in the top 3. The album 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 tribute CD also earned Dailey & Vincent their first GRAMMY nomination, for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, for their rendition of “Elizabeth.”

In February 2011 the duo brought home seven trophies from the 37th Annual SPBGMA Bluegrass Music Awards, held at the Music City Sheraton in Nashville. Together they were honored for Bluegrass Band of the Year, Entertaining Group of the Year, and Album of the Year (for Dailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers). They also won their third consecutive awards for Vocal Group of the Year and Gospel Group of the Year/Contemporary. Additionally, Jamie Dailey was named Male Vocalist of the Year/Contemporary, and Darrin Vincent took home honors for Bass Fiddle Performer of the Year, their third consecutive wins in those categories.

Dailey & Vincent also received a GMA Dove Award Nomination for Best Bluegrass Album for Singing From the Heart, an all a cappella collection of gospel songs that is a fund-raiser for the Tennessee Bible College in Cookeville, Tennessee.

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.” A 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; B.J. Cherryholmes on fiddle; and Christian Davis on bass vocals and guitar. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store ® is proud to support the Dailey & Vincent Front Porch Tour.

In 2008 Dailey & Vincent took home seven IBMA awards, becoming the first act in the history of the IBMA awards to be named Entertainer of the Year and Emerging Artist in the same year. They have released three albums in addition to Dailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers—Dailey & Vincent, which was IBMA Album of the Year in 2008, Brothers From Different Mothers, and Singing From the Heart, an all a cappella collection benefiting the Tennessee Bible College. Dailey & Vincent maintain a heavy touring schedule. They are also regular guests on the Grand Ole Opry. On October 2, 2010, they hosted their inaugural homecoming concert in Gainesboro, Tennessee, which raised over $31,000 for the Dailey & Vincent Helping Hands Fund. The fund exists to help underprivileged children in Jackson and DeKalb Counties in Tennessee.
