Dailey and Vincent to Join Grand Ole Opry

The bluegrass music super-duo of Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent has been invited to become official members of the Grand Ole Opry.
Dailey & Vincent are three time-winners of the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year award and three-time Grammy nominees as a duo. They will be formally inducted into the Opry on March 11.
Marking their 10th year as a duo, Dailey & Vincent have made 100 appearances at the Opry, including a performance last Friday night.
During the show, Opry member Marty Stuart invited the duo to join the Opry.
Darrin and wife Julie make their home in DeKalb County.
A 21st century bluegrass duo, both Dailey and Vincent had long careers in bluegrass before they officially joined forces, Dailey as the guitarist and lead singer for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver while Vincent played for years in Ricky Skaggs’ band Kentucky Thunder (plus his older sister just happened to be bluegrass star Rhonda Vincent).
Dailey and Vincent first met in 2001, and quickly discovered that their voices meshed magically, much like the rare blend of voices that legendary brother duos like the Louvin Brothers possessed. Signing with Rounder Records, the pair released the eponymous Dailey & Vincent in 2008 on the label, and the album immediately put them on the top of the bluegrass heap, winning multiple International Bluegrass Music Association awards that same year. Two more albums appeared from Rounder in 2009, Brothers from Different Mothers in March and Singing from the Heart in October. Two themed collections, Dailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers and The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent, were issued in 2010 and 2012, respectively, through the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and distributed through Rounder Records. The well-balanced and impressive Brothers of the Highway, released on Rounder Records, appeared in the spring of 2013.
Dailey & Vincent also have their own national television show on RFD-TV. The Dailey & Vincent Show is a weekly 30 minute music, entertainment and lifestyles show which features unique musical performances, guest segments, cooking and humor.
