About Dailey & Vincent
Dubbed by CMT as the "Rockstars of Bluegrass," the Dailey &
Vincent duo has been hailed throughout the music industry as one of the most exciting, reputable and elite Bluegrass bands in America. They have received numerous awards and nominations for their uniquely contagious and riveting music, including: three GRAMMY nominations, 14 International Bluegrass
Music Association (IBMA) Awards (including three Entertainer of the Year Awards, three Vocal Group of the Year Awards and one Album of the Year Award) and four Dove Awards (including the Bluegrass Album of the Year Award and Bluegrass Song of the Year Award.)
2014 was a record year for Dailey &
Vincent with a GRAMMY nomination for Bluegrass Album of the Year, a first-time performance at Carnegie Hall in June, their Second Dailey &
Vincent Festival in Denton, NC in September, and their very first headlining cruise (which sold out and set sail February 14, 2015).
Prior to forming the duo in 2007, both Jamie Dailey and Darrin
