Dailey & Vincent have been invited to become official members of the Grand Ole Opry. Nominated for many Grammy awards the duo are also three-time IBMA Entertainers of the Year.
Dailey and Vincent returned to the Opry at the Ryman Auditorium this week to celebrate the kick-off of their 10th year as a duo, which began on the Opry at the Ryman stage in 2007. The night also marked the duo’s 100th Opry appearance. The duo will be formally inducted into the Opry on Saturday, March 11.
During a special half-hour Dailey & Vincent set, the two were joined by a series of guests including Opry members Marty Stuart and Connie Smith as well as John Carter Cash and his wife Ana Cristina in addition to Dailey’s father JB Dailey and Vincent’s mother Carolyn Vincent. After a performance with the duo, Stuart gave Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent the surprise of their lives, inviting the duo to officially join the Opry. The pair was stunned, having no previous knowledge the invitation was about to be offered.
Country music needs you. Country music loves you. And the Grand Ole Opry welcomes you – Marty Stuart.
This is one of the most special things that has ever happened to us. We’re so thankful – Jamie Dailey.
I have no words. I’m so honored. The Lord is so faithful to us – Daren Vincent.
Dailey & Vincent have thoroughly entertained thousands of fans on the Opry stage over the past decade. Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent embody so much about what fans love about the Opry. They have a tremendous respect for tradition, and they’re also innovators committed to the future of the music they love. We’re excited to welcome them as official members of the family in March – Pete Fisher, Opry Vice President and General Manager.
