Jerry Douglas

Jerry Douglas grew up in Ohio and was playing dobro in professional bluegrass bands as a teenager, including the Country Gentlemen and J.D. Crowe & the New South, and later Boone Creek alongside Ricky Skaggs. His playing draws on jazz phrasing and rock dynamics as readily as on the Josh Graves tradition he started from, and he has recorded across country, folk, pop and jazz sessions.

Outside Union Station he leads his own band and records solo albums, co-directs the Anglo-American Transatlantic Sessions series with fiddler Aly Bain, and formed The Earls of Leicester, a group devoted to the repertoire of Flatt & Scruggs.
