Dailey & Vincent join lineup for Gaither Homecoming DVD
Dailey & VincentRounder Records’ new bluegrass duo Dailey & Vincent will join an all-star lineup for the latest Gaither Homecoming DVD, to be filmed in Nashville this week and released in the fall of 2008.
Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent will perform three songs from their self-titled Rounder debut-”By the Mark,” “Place on Calvary” and “More Than a Name on a Wall.” Their CD is slated for a Jan. 29 release.
Hosted by Bill Gaither, the DVD will feature performances by some of the brightest names in country, bluegrass and gospel music, including the Gaither Vocal Band, Vince Gill, Rhonda Vincent, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, The Isaacs, The Easters, Jimmy Fortune, Ralph Stanley and Marty Stuart.
The Homecoming DVD is a Gaither Television production, produced by Bill Gaither, Bill Carter and Barry Jennings.
“Gospel music is and always has been near and dear to our hearts,” said Dailey, a longtime member of Doyle Lawson’s band. “We’re very proud to be included in this incredible group of talent, and to be able to share these songs.”
Vincent, brother of Rhonda Vincent, has spent the better part of the past decade with Ricky Skagg’s Kentucky Thunder band.
“More Than a Name on a Wall,” written by former Statler Brother member Jimmy Fortune and John Rimel, was a hit for the Statlers in 1989, and Dailey & Vincent feel a strong connection to its sentiments.

Besides his abilities to act on film and tickle the funny bones, Martin plays Scruggs-style five string banjo.
Famed fiddler Mark O’Connor will also perform during the tribute, which will be taped for a Dec. 26 telecast on CBS.
