Following the release of their #1 Billboard Bluegrass charting album, “Dailey & Vincent – ALIVE! In Concert,” and the premiere of their first national TV series The Dailey & Vincent Show on RFD-TV, the multi-Grammy nominated duo celebrate their nomination for a 2015 Midsouth Regional Emmy® nomination. The award winning duo is nominated in the Entertainment Program category for their Dailey & Vincent – ALIVE! In Concert, which has been aired on PBS in over 84 markets with an estimate of over 1 million impressions.
“We had a great time producing our public television special,” said Darrin Vincent, “it was a lot of hard work and it feels really good to be recognized by the Emmy’s for our hard work.”
Also nominated are Executive Producer – Zac Koffler of APEX Entertainment Management, Patrick Tolhill of Patrick Tolhill Productions, and Adam Mills of High End TV. The Midsouth Regional Emmy awards will take place February 27, 2016.
“When Darrin and I first begin dreaming of a public television special, we couldn’t wait to put our thoughts, hearts and feelings into it, hoping that the people who watched would feel what we felt while we produced and performed on our own show creation,” said Jamie Dailey, “now, to receive an Emmy® nomination for our efforts is just overwhelming. We feel so blessed and thankful.”
Gracing stages nationwide at historic venues such as Carnegie Hall, Library of Congress (Coolidge Auditorium), and the Ryman Auditorium with their distinct sonic hybrid of bluegrass, country and gospel influences, the duo went on to tape their first ever LIVE CD/DVD and Public Television concert special at The Hylton Performing Arts Center.
