Background
Jamie Dailey was formerly the lead vocalist and guitarist for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver from 1999-2008. Darrin Vincent was formerly a musician with Ricky Skaggs' band Kentucky Thunder, and was also part of the famous bluegrass family group The Sally Mountain Show, with his sister Rhonda Vincent of Rhonda Vincent & The Rage. The group's former banjo player, Joe Dean, left in March 2012 to pursue other musical interests and would later join Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.[2] Former fiddle player Jesse Stockman left the band in early August 2011 due to a wrist injury, giving way to BJ Cherryholmes who would continue that role until September 2016, when he started touring with the Christian rock singer David Crowder. A month later Dailey & Vincent announced that Patrick McAvinue would be the band's new fiddle player.[3] The group's former bass singer, Christian Davis, left in 2015 to pursue a solo career,[4] giving way to Aaron McCune who has been a mainstream voice in country and gospel ever since. In April 2018, it was announced that Jessie Baker would be leaving the band due to debilitating nerve injury in his hands.[5] In May, Daily & Vincent announced that Gaven Largent would be the band's new banjo player.[6] Jeff Parker left in 2019 and started his own group Jeff Parker and Company. In August 2023, long-time drummer Bob Mummert passed away at the age of 69.[7]
