Jamie Dailey (guitar, bass, lead and harmony vocals) was

to guitar, but he continued to sing lead and harmony vocals on
the concert trail and on nine of the band's albums. During
Jamie's tenure the band won 13 IBMA Awards--including Vocal

Joe Dean, Jr. (banjo, guitar, bass vocals) is the youngest in
the group, born on July 18, 1989, in St. Louis, Missouri. He
gained an interest in music at the age of five after watching
The Eagles reunion tour on television. He soon began taking
guitar lessons. At the age of 10 he picked up the mountain
dulcimer and won the Illinois State Dulcimer contest at age 11.
Joe became interested in bluegrass at the age of 12, when he
started playing mandolin. At 13 he picked up the banjo. Joe
played with a few local groups in the St. Louis area including
the Rosa Stringworks Band. In 2004, he stepped in to play
mandolin for Bull Harman's band, Bullseye. Joe played for Bull
until the end of 2006, when he took a job with Barry Scott.
Barry was forming his band and needed a banjo player and bass
vocalist. In June of 2007 Joe was hired by Dailey & Vincent. He
had just graduated high school and was a month shy of turning 18
at the time. Besides playing and singing, Joe really enjoys
meeting and greeting fans at every show.
Adam Haynes (fiddle) was born in Oberlin, Ohio, and raised in
a musical family, The Haynes Family Band. He began playing
fiddle with the band at the age of 13. Along with the fiddle, he
played banjo, sang harmony vocals, and wrote songs for the
group. His father, Jim, was his teacher, urging him to listen to
all types of music. His favorite music, though, is gospel and
"anything old." Adam's professional resume includes stage time
with Melvin Goins and Windy Mountain, David Parmley and
Continental Divide, and the multi-award winner James King (The
James King Band). He recorded three albums during his six-year
tenure with James King, traveling extensively throughout the
United States and Canada and 13 other countries. In 2003 the
band earned the SPBGMA award for Bluegrass Album of the Year,
and they were also part of the IBMA 2006 Album of the Year,
Celebration of Life: Musicians Against Childhood Cancer. In 2007
Adam joined Dailey & Vincent, who love his soulful and energetic
fiddle style. He cites performing on the Grand Ole Opry as one
of the coolest things he's experienced so far. Adam proudly
endorses Frank E. Daniels violins.
Jeff Parker (mandolin, guitar, harmony vocals) is a proud
Kentucky native who learned to play guitar from his father,
Vester, when he was just 6 years old. After tackling the guitar,
he moved on to other instruments, until at age 12 he was
inspired by Harold Russell of the Russell Brothers to play
mandolin. Soon after, Jeff joined his dad and other family
members, playing at area churches and radio stations, and they
became known as the Sounds of Gospel. When he was 19, Jeff left
the Sounds of Gospel and joined Train 45, The Bluegrass
Drifters, and other acts. He then became a member of Renfro
Valley Entertainment Center, where he played mandolin, guitar,
banjo and fiddle and sang harmony vocals in the staff band from
1986 to 1994. He also performed with The Parker Brothers, a
featured bluegrass act at Renfro Valley. They were named Best
Bluegrass Band at Renfro in 1992. In 1994, Jeff was awarded Best
Harmony Singer, and in 1991 he was named Best Instrumentalist.
After leaving Renfro Valley, Jeff spent five years in the group
Wilderness Trail, which he formed with his brother Mike. In
October 2001, Jeff joined The Lonesome River Band as mandolin
player and tenor singer. He spent the next five years with LRB
and recorded three albums with them. He also recorded a solo
album titled Two Roads to Travel on Lonesome Day Records. Jeff
has performed or recorded with other acts including Dale Ann
Bradley, Steve Gulley, Rick Bartley, Aaron McDaris, Wildfire,
David Marshall, Jason Davis, Linda Lay, Larry Sparks, Tony Rice
