Dailey & Vincent to Make In-Store Cracker Barrel® Appearances in Support of New Album



Lebanon, Tenn. (January 3, 2012) – Usher in the new year with a dozen uplifting songs sung by Grammy-nominated Rounder Records recording duo, Dailey & Vincent. The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent features new songs brimming with inspirational messages and melodies as well as popular favorites that the duo performs in their shows. The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent can be pre-ordered beginning today at crackerbarrel.com using the code DVGOSPEL and will arrive in all Cracker Barrel locations on January 9. The first 200 fans to place an order will receive a copy of the album autographed by Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent.

The three-time International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Entertainers of the Year and Vocal Group of the Year Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent are known for intertwining Gospel music in their shows and recorded music. “Once again, we are pleased to be associated with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and excited to lend our styles of Gospel music on our newest endeavor, The Gospel Side of Dailey and Vincent,” said Dailey.

The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent is the group’s second CD in the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store®exclusive music program. “Bluegrass, Country and Gospel are common threads of America and with Cracker Barrel, so their guests are the same folks we perform for and reach out to through radio, TV, and CDs,” explained Darrin Vincent. “We offered the idea of a Gospel album to Cracker Barrel’s Marketing Manager Julie Craig. She thought it would be a good fit since our first Cracker Barrel release, Dailey & Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers, had done well and won Bluegrass Album of the Year in 2010, plus a Grammy® Award nomination.”

On January 5, Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent will visit WSM’s The Eddie Stubbs Show for an exclusive world premiere of The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent. Fans can tune in to 650AM WSM from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for a special preview of the new album and the behind-the-scenes scoop on the making of the duo’s brand new Gospel recordings.

In support of the new album, Dailey & Vincent will make several in-store visits at select Cracker Barrel locations throughout early 2012. For a complete schedule of appearances, visit daileyandvincent.com.

The album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Music Chart and #19 on Billboard’s Country Chart, earning the Hot Shot Debut and marking the duo’s first Top-20 debut on the chart.
