Dailley & Vincent dominate Bluegrass Awards
The sweet-singing duo Dailey & Vincent went from emerging artist of the year to entertainer of the year in just two and a-half hours Thursday night (Oct. 2), winning seven awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association. They were nominated for a total of 10 awards.
"They didn't leave none for the rest of us," moaned the affable Del McCoury, who hosted the sold-out show at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium.
Still in their first year as a recording act, Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent also won for top album (Dailey & Vincent), top vocal group and gospel recorded performance ("By the Mark"). Dailey copped the male vocalist prize, and Vincent shared in the recorded event of the year trophy for (Everett Lilly & Everybody and Their Brother).
For the second year in a row, Dale Ann Bradley was proclaimed top female vocalist, and Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper again scored the instrumental group of the year prize.
The Grascals, the Del McCoury Band, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver and Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder all were shut out. Rhonda Vincent, Darrin's sister and normally a trophy magnet, was cited only for her part in the winning recorded event of the year album.
The late author and cultural historian Charles Wolfe and musician, song collector and festival organizer Bill Clifton were inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame.
