TROY, NC – A Christmas song pulled Jamie Daily and Darrin Vincent together in 2003. Daily was playing with Doyle Lawson while Vincent was working with Ricky Scaggs. The song was “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem.”In 2008, the duo was recognized with seven awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association – Album of the Year, Emerging Artist of the Year, Best Gospel Recording of the Year – and the list goes on.
On Friday, November 21, Daily and Vincent will be performing at the James Garner Center in Troy, North Carolina. Showtime is 7 p.m. The Center is located just off NC Hwy. 109 at 210 Burnett Street.
Jeff Branch, a bluegrass performer and event organizer, said “I’m very excited to land this group. It’s not every day you get to see such high quality talent. In the past five years I’ve watched them bud and grow into a mature band that audiences really enjoy.”
In 2005, Daily was picked by U.S. Ambassador Faith Whittlesey to represent the United States in Switzerland as a Young Leader from America. The purpose was to strengthen international relations. In doing so, he was dubbed “The Bluegrass Ambassador” as he performed at embassies and galas.
Vincent started performing when he was three years old. Since, he has played aside a number of top performing artists, such as Dolly Parton, Vince Gill and Earl Scruggs. Despite all the fame, he still likes playing at local church revivals with his children.
Reserved tickets are $20. General admission tickets may be purchased at the door for $15. To reserve tickets, call Jeff Branch at 704-985-6987 or email jbranch@ctc.net.
