Dailey's music has been featured on over 50 TV programs and films and is now embarking on spreading his music throughout Europe with a festival tour in 2015. Dailey has become an artist to watch not just now but indefinitely. “Dailey’s latest album makes it clear that good songwriting isn’t a matter of hiding behind shiny production or an over-stylized persona. His music doesn’t contain a note of pretense. If anything, it is committed to the beauty of simplicity. National Throat is a statement about the value of creativity and the survival of art. Dailey believes the truth will find its way out, that what is real and beautiful will rise to the top.” - Jon Karr, New York Minute Magazine, May 2015 .
