Bluegrass fans attending the 7:30 p.m. performance on Friday, Oct. 8, of Dailey & Vincent at the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts in Franklin, NC, now have even more to cheer about.
Dailey & Vincent earned top honors with multiple awards, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year title, Thursday at the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards in Knoxville. It’s their third straight victory in this category. They also won vocal group of the year for the third straight time, album of the year and graphic design for “The Statler Brothers,” and recorded event of the year for “Give This Message To Your Heart.”
“With Dailey & Vincent, we knew we had booked one of the hottest bluegrass bands in the world right now,” said Scott Bass, manager of the Smoky Mountain Center, “so we were already very excited about their upcoming Friday night show. But these new and recent awards have really taken it to a new level.”
Tickets cost $16 and are on sale now at the theater box office at 1024 Georgia Road in Franklin, at Dalton’s Christian Bookstore locations in Franklin and Waynesville and online at GreatMountainMusic.com.
Here they are, books yammering for review: a hillock of books on the floor by the desk; more books stacked on the desk itself, squeezed between a basket of spectacles and a coffee cup filled with pens and pencils, the cup itself bearing Jefferson’s remark, “I cannot live without books;” two more books for review keeping company in the trunk of my car; a lone rider of a book on the arm of the sofa by the porch door.
