Darrin Vincent of the popular award winning duo Dailey & Vincent will make an appearance today (Friday) on WJLE’s “Jammin’ at the 428”.

The program will air at 8:30 a.m. following the “Old Time Country Community Radio Show”.

Jim Hicks, the host of the show, will interview Darrin and play some of his music.

Darrin started singing at age three and playing music at age six as part of his family band, The Sally Mountain Show, along with sister Rhonda Vincent. As a member of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder for more than 10 years, Darrin has won five Grammy Awards and eight IBMA Awards for Instrumental Group of the Year. He has performance and recording credits with dozens of artists including Dolly Parton, Nora Jones, Emmylou Harris, Earl Scruggs, Bruce Hornsby, Vince Gill, John Hartford, and many more. As well as producer credits on Grammy nominated projects with Rhonda Vincent, Susie Luchsinger, Cherryholmes and Hunter Berry. He is an accomplished musician and vocalist with expert abilities to arrange and create captivating music.

In 2003, Darrin and his longtime friend and colleague Jamie Dailey were asked to perform on a Koch Records recording titled Christmas Grass Vol.2, 2004. Dailey & Vincent recorded a well-known Christmas song, “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,” with just a guitar, a mandolin and their two voices. Their stirring version of the song rose to No. 1 on the Prime Cuts of Bluegrass. The song’s success prompted the duo’s decision to perform together more often and perhaps even record again. Bluegrass music’s newest duo, Dailey & Vincent, was born. Today, this award winning duo are stars of radio, TV, and the Grand Ole Opry

According to Chief Donny Green, Storie was home at the time and had fallen asleep after building a fire to keep warm on an enclosed porch. Storie discovered the blaze when he awoke and escaped unharmed. The home had no electricity or other utilities.

Storie was referred to local volunteers with the American Red Cross for assistance.
