my family. We really had a kindred spirit there musically,” he remembers.“ I really do feel the Lord has put us together.”
Dailey & Vincent was born that day, and there’ s been no looking back. Since 2008, their albums have hit number one on the bluegrass chart, they’ ve won armfuls of awards( IBMA, SPBGMA, Dove), and have been nominated for Grammys. They’ ve toured and recorded alongside of the biggest names in the business, hosted a radio show together, and played with just about everybody on their Dailey & Vincent Show on TV, which is set to air its sixth season.
For Darrin, part of D & V’ s success comes from the strong personal bond he and Jamie share.“ We have a lot of the same beliefs, and it’ s really refreshing and unique that our business works together, then we get out on stage and put a lot of wonderful people around us,” he explains.
Fresh off their Christmas tour, the pair and their band are on the road now to support their latest release, Let’ s Sing Some Country. The album, which departs from D & V’ s
signature bluegrass stylings in favor of straight-ahead country favorites, was released in September to a warm welcome. Their version of the Karen Staley song“ I’ ll Leave My Heart in Tennessee” on the album got some historical recognition last year, when it was chosen as an official state song.
Along with the new tunes, Darrin says, they’ ll be playing crowd favorites and maybe even a surprise number or two. Jamie and guitarist Aaron McCune always provide a laugh in addition to great music, and Indiana’ s own child mandolin prodigy Kyle Ramey— now full-grown and in the band— will be performing as well.“ Our stage shows are fun and entertaining, and we work together and to bring joy to the audiences that we get the opportunity to perform for,” says Darrin.
