Dailey & Vincent plan Opry debut
Monday, December 17, 2007 – Bluegrass duo Dailey & Vincent will make their Grand Ole Opry debut on Dec. 29 at the Ryman Auditorium. Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent have performed on the Opry several times before - Jamie as lead vocalist for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver and Darrin as a member of Ricky Skaggs's Kentucky Thunder band - but on December 29 they will make their Opry debut as a duo, performing songs from their self-titled debut out Jan. 29, 2008 on Rounder.
"What a wonderful Christmas present for us!" said Vincent. "It's always an honor and a humbling experience playing on the Opry, and to have this performance launch our career as a duo really makes it special."
Dailey & Vincent will begin their first concert tour on Jan. 5, 2008, at the New Year's Bluegrass Festival in Jekyll Island, Ga. It was at the same festival in 1999 that Dailey began his 9-year tenure with Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver. Before performing together publicly, Dailey & Vincent had already booked more than 100 dates for 2008.
Taking to the road with them are Jeff Parker on mandolin; Joe Dean on banjo, guitar and mandolin; and Adam Haynes on fiddle.

CD reviews for Dailey & Vincent
With "The Sounds of Christmas," Dailey & Vincent gift us with an honest-to-goodness country Christmas album. It's tough to find honest-to-goodness country music - let alone Christmas country - but this duo's bluegrass and gospel grounding give their album deep roots.
Dolly Parton's big presence on "Road to Bethlehem" adds a sweet touch, even though the new song shares a melody with Bruce Springsteen's "One Step Up." It's one of a few new ...
From time to time an album comes along with exactly the right message and meaning at exactly the right time - "Patriots & Poets" is one of those albums. Dailey and Vincent initially set out to create a project full of songs they had written independently, together and with close friends. While succeeding mightily in that regard, they also created a beautiful love letter to America and her people in a time when many need to be reminded, that while perhaps flawed, we are all still one. ...
Some six years and counting after their spectacular debut on the bluegrass scene, with a couple of handfuls of IBMA awards garnered along the way, Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent continue to avoid the trap of sputtering out after using up their best material on the first couple of albums. The primary reason is, although they are adept at writing some of their own material (and two of the tracks on this new release, Steel Drivin' Man and Back To Jackson County are nice efforts by Dailey), ...
