Dailey is the former lead singer and guitarist for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and Vincent most recently played guitar and mandolin and sang harmony vocals in Ricky Skaggs' band, Kentucky Thunder.

He has also worked with Norah Jones, Emmylou Harris, Earl Scruggs, Bruce Hornsby, Vince Gill, John Hartford and Keith Urban. In 2003, the long time friends and colleagues, Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent, were asked to perform on a Koch Records recording titled "Christmas Grass Vol.2 2004. Jamie and Darrin recorded a well known Christmas song, "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem", with just a guitar and mandolin and their two voices. Their version of this song rose to number one on the Prime Cuts of Bluegrass. It was at this time that Jamie and Darrin decided that they would like to perform together more often and perhaps record again. This eventually evolved into the early planning and structuring of a new duo and band that would become Dailey and Vincent. It has been suggested that they have created a new business model for forming a Bluegrass band that new artists are sure to emulate. Their first recording called Dailey and Vincent was completed in August 2007 and is due to be released in January 2008. Dailey and Vincent signed with Rounder Records in early September 2007 with over 100 tour dates scheduled for 2008.
