Jerry Douglas Band

It's tempting to try to summarize dobro master Jerry Douglas's musical impact with numbers -- his 12 Grammy Awards, 11 Musician of the Year awards from the Academy of Country Music (and three more from the Country Music Association), eight instrumentalist awards from the
International Bluegrass Music Association, and over 2,000 instrumental appearances on records by such artists as Paul Simon, Ray Charles, The Chieftains, Elvis Costello and Reba McEntire.

The leader of Alison Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas (the band often abbreviated as AKUS) offers a pithier description: "He's irreplaceable," Ms. Krauss tells us.

The Jerry Douglas Band will appear in Arden on Sunday May 3 at 8 PM. This unprecedented concert event is presented by the Arden Concert Gild and is sure to sell out quickly. Tickets are $29 for club members, $35 for guests. They are available by calling 302-475-3126 or for non-members online at ardenclub.com and at Between Books in Claymont.
