Dailey & Vincent Invited To Join Grand Ole Opry

Three-time IBMA Entertainers of the Year and multi-Grammy®-nominated super duo Dailey & Vincent have been invited to become official members of the Grand Ole Opry. The pair returned to the Opry at the Ryman Auditorium tonight to celebrate the kick-off of its 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. "Country music needs you. Country music loves you. And the Grand Ole Opry welcomes you," Stuart said.
"This is one of the most special things that has ever happened to us," a shocked Dailey said after a few seconds of stunned silence. "We're so thankful."
Before closing out the show along with their guests on the gospel favorite "This Old House," and equally surprised Vincent shared, "I have no words. I'm so honored. The Lord is so faithful to us."
"Dailey & Vincent have thoroughly entertained thousands of fans on the Opry stage over the past decade," said Opry Vice President and General Manager Pete Fisher. 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."
Crystal Gayle is set to be inducted into the Opry by her sister Loretta Lynn on Saturday, January 21. Other artists scheduled to play the Opry in early 2017 include Brandy Clark, Chris Janson, Ricky Skaggs, and Josh Turner, among many others.
