Dailey & Vincent received a GRAMMY nomination this year for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, for "Elizabeth" from their award-winning Cracker Barrel/Rounder Records release, Dailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers, available exclusively at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store®. In September they claimed their third consecutive Entertainer of the Year title at the 21st Annual International Bluegrass Music Awards, where they were also named Vocal Group of the Year for the third consecutive year, and Dailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers won Album of the Year. In addition, the album received the award for Best Graphic Design for Recorded Project, and Dailey & Vincent took home trophies for Recorded Event of the Year for "Give This Message To Your Heart" from Larry Stephenson's 20th Anniversary CD.

On February 6 they 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 recently 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.
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® is proud to announce its support of the Dailey & Vincent Front Porch Tour. To maintain their heavy touring schedule, Dailey & Vincent are traveling the country in their Prevost bus, which has been wrapped with specially designed Cracker Barrel logos and graphics from the Dailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers CD package. They will continue to include a Cracker Barrel segment in their shows, featuring tracks from the album.

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 recent 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 Sing the Statler Brothers debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums chart (issue date February 20), where it spent 9 weeks at #1 and 19 weeks in the top 3. 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 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/Hip Hop, Country, Latin, Christian or Gospel Albums charts. It also entered the overall Billboard 200 at #120.

In 2009 Dailey & Vincent took home IBMA Awards for Entertainer of the Year, 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.

Dailey & Vincent are 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 to help underprivileged children in Jackson and DeKalb Counties in Tennessee.
