Jerry Douglas Brings His Band’s Genre-Bending Sound to Musco Center

Musco Center welcomes Dobro master Jerry Douglas and his band to the stage on Thursday, Oct. 22, at 7:30 p.m. for an evening that stretches far beyond bluegrass's traditional borders.

The New York Times has called Douglas "Dobro's matchless contemporary master," and it's easy to see why. A 14-time Grammy winner, he has produced more than 100 albums and appeared on over 1,600 studio recordings. He's a longtime member of Alison Krauss & Union Station, co-bandleader of the Transatlantic Sessions in the United Kingdom, and founder of the Grammy-winning bluegrass supergroup The Earls of Leicester. On top of all that, he leads The Jerry Douglas Band, a project that has become one of his most personal musical outlets.

Formed in 2017, The Jerry Douglas Band draws deep from bluegrass and folk roots while branching into Americana and jazz. In 2021, the group released "Leftover Feelings" with legendary singer-songwriter John Hiatt, earning a Grammy nomination for best Americana album. Their previous record, "What If," was also nominated, for best contemporary instrumental album. The band has performed at some of the country's top festivals, including Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Pilgrimage Music Festival, Big Ears Festival, DelFest, FreshGrass, Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival and MerleFest.

Joining Douglas on stage are Daniel Kimbro on bass, Christian Sedelmyer on fiddle and Mike Seal on guitar, rounding out a lineup known for its virtuosic chemistry and genre-blurring range.

The performance runs approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.

Runtime: Approximately 90 minutes, there will be no intermission. 

Tickets start at $43. For tickets and more information, visit muscocenter.org.
