Jerry Douglas (born in Warren, Ohio on May 28, 1956) is an American Dobro player. He is often referred to as "flux" by his peers, a nickname given to him as a result of his ability to play at amazing speeds with the slide.

In addition to his eleven solo releases and countless special projects, Douglas' stellar fretwork has graced over 1000 albums encompassing a dizzying range of musical styles. As a sideman, he's recorded with artists as diverse as Ray Charles, Peter Rowan, Béla Fleck, Emmylou Harris, Phish, Dolly Parton, Paul Simon, Ricky Skaggs, Bill Frisell, John Fogerty, Tony Rice and James Taylor, as well as performing on the landmark O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. As a producer, he's overseen albums by such esteemed acts as the Del McCoury Band, Maura O'Connell, Jesse Winchester and the Nashville Bluegrass Band. He's been part of such notable groups as The Whites, J.D. Crowe and the New South, the Country Gentlemen, and Strength in Numbers.

Since 1998, he's been a key member of Alison Krauss and Union Station, touring extensively and playing on a series of platinum albums.

When not on the road with Alison Krauss + Union Station, Douglas tours with his band in support of his extensive body of work.

In 2004, the National Endowment for the Arts awarded Douglas a National Heritage Fellowship.

He has recently collaborated with Scottish fiddler Aly Bain serving as musical director and playing on the all-star roots-music summit Transatlantic Sessions series for British television.

Douglas often plays Scheerhorn resonator guitars, built with an open soundwell and solid wood for added volume.

Douglas has received twelve Grammy Awards in recognition of his talent.
