About the artists
Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent had already gained acclaim in the bluegrass
world long before teaming up to record their first album as a duo. Both were
raised in musical families and have played bluegrass since the age of 3 -- Dailey
in Tennessee and Vincent in Missouri. They both also apprenticed with
legendary acts.
Dailey served as lead vocalist and guitarist for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and
Darrin Vincent was guitarist, mandolinist and harmony vocalist with Ricky Skaggs
& Kentucky Thunder.
Vincent has also worked with his sister, bluegrass star Rhonda Vincent, and the
late John Hartford. Dailey and Vincent first met in 2001 during the International
Bluegrass Music Association awards show in Louisville, Ky., and discovered an
uncanny blend in their vocal harmonies, a tight sound reminiscent of the
fraternal harmonies of the Louvin Brothers and the Bailes Brothers.
Their debut album, Dailey & Vincent, was released by Rounder Records in early
2008. By the end of the year, it had been named album of the year at the IBMA
Awards. Collectively, the duo won seven IBMA awards in 2008, including
entertainer of the year and emerging artist -- the first time in IBMA history that an
act was honored in both categories in the same year.
In addition to a win as vocal group, they were won in the gospel recorded
performance for "By the Mark." Dailey was named the IBMA's male vocalist of the
year, and Vincent won an award in the recorded event of the year category for
his involvement in the CD, Everett Lilly & Everybody and Their Brother.
