Today LIVE Jerry Douglas - King of the Dobro- 16 Grammys 3 CMAs!
16-time Grammy Winner and three-time CMA Musician of the Year award recipient, Jerry Douglas, was called “Dobro’s matchless contemporary master” by The New York Times. Jerry’s also one of the nicest and funnest guys I know. To see him perform live and effortlessly cross genres from rock, jazz, blues, country, Celtic, and bluegrass is a seamless masterclass of execution and a one-of-a-kind entertainment.
One of the most innovative recording artists in music as a solo artist, Jerry’s also the band leader for The Jerry Douglas Band and his Grammy-winning bluegrass band, The Earls of Leicester, as well as a member of ensembles including Alison Krauss & Union Station, J.D. Crowe & the New South, The Country Gentlemen, Boone Creek, and Strength In Numbers.
Jerry’s graced more than 1500 albums with artists such as Garth Brooks, George Jones, Paul Simon, Little Big Town, James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, Earl Scruggs, Ray Charles, Dierks Bentley, Sierra Ferrell, Tommy Emmanuel, and many others.
In addition to touring, Jerry co-produced and performed on a series of platinum albums. He’s produced albums for Alison Krauss, The Del McCoury Band, Maura O’Connell, The Whites, Steep Canyon Rangers, John Hiatt, and, recently, Molly Tuttle. He’s co-music director of the BBC Scotland TV series Transatlantic Sessions. In 2004, Jerry was recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts with an American Heritage Fellowship, and he served as the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s Artist in Residence in 2008.
I’ve seen him perform live, and we’ve dined in his good company. I can’t wait to dig in and get the back story of this man whose ongoing influence on country, Americana, bluegrass, and their many related genres is immeasurable.
