Norm Williams speaks with renowned Dobro and lap steel guitar player Jerry Douglas ahead of his performance with Alison Krauss & Union Station at the State Theatre in Easton.
A 14-time Grammy winner, Douglas has played on more than 1,600 albums throughout his career and has worked with artists including Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Dolly Parton, Paul Simon, Molly Tuttle and many more. A longtime member of Alison Krauss & Union Station, Douglas was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in 2024.
Douglas talks with Norm about what first drew him to the Dobro while growing up in northeastern Ohio. He recalls hearing Josh Graves play with Flatt and Scruggs and how the sound of the instrument immediately captured his attention.
