Jerry Douglas

Dobro master and 13-time Grammy winner Jerry Douglas is to
the resonator guitar what Jimi Hendrix was to the electric guitar: elevating,
transforming, and reinventing the instrument in countless ways. In addition to
being widely recognized as the foremost master of the Dobro, Jerry Douglas is a
freewheeling, forward-thinking recording artist whose output incorporates
elements of bluegrass, country, rock, jazz, blues and Celtic into his
distinctive musical vision.



Called "dobro's matchless contemporary
master," by The New York Times, thirteen-time Grammy winner Jerry Douglas
is one of the most innovative recording artists in music, both as a solo artist
and member of groundbreaking bands including J.D. Crowe & the New South,
the Country Gentlemen, Boone Creek, and Strength In Numbers. Douglas'
distinctive sound graces more than 1500 albums, including discs released by
Garth Brooks, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Elvis Costello, Earl Scruggs, and Ray
Charles, among many others.



Since 1998, he's been a key member of "Alison
Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas", touring extensively and
co-producing and playing on a series of platinum albums. He has produced albums
for Krauss, the Del McCoury Band, Maura O'Connell, and Jesse Winchester and is
is co-Music Director of the acclaimed BBC TV series Transatlantic Sessions, and
his latest solo album Traveler features guest appearances by such notable
friends as Paul Simon, Mumford & Sons, and Eric Clapton, among others.



As he continues his incalculable influence on
Americana, bluegrass and their many related genres, Douglas forges as a true
pioneer in American music.
