Jerry Douglas
Jerry Douglas (born May 28, 1956) is widely regarded as the most influential dobro player in the history of bluegrass and acoustic music. Raised in Ohio and inspired early by Josh Graves, Douglas revolutionized the resonator guitar by expanding its tonal palette, rhythmic role, and improvisational voice, transforming it from a background instrument into a lead force capable of lyrical subtlety and explosive drive.

Douglas rose to prominence in the 1970s with J.D. Crowe & the New South and went on to become a defining member of the The Bluegrass Album Band. His career spans bluegrass, country, folk, Americana, and beyond, with landmark work as a solo artist and as a longtime member of Alison Krauss & Union Station. In addition to his performance career, Douglas is one of the most recorded musicians in acoustic music history, contributing to thousands of sessions across genres.
A 16-time Grammy Award winner, Douglas is celebrated not only for his technical mastery but for his taste, musical intelligence, and ability to elevate any ensemble he joins. His influence reaches far beyond bluegrass, shaping the sound of modern acoustic music and inspiring generations of dobro and slide guitar players worldwide. (IBMA)
