Jerry Douglas Performs “A Peaceful Return” • 2026

Jerry Douglas—considered among the all-time great dobro players—performs his song "A Peaceful Return" at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Douglas took the stage as part of the Museum's Nashville Cats series, which spotlights musicians who have made significant contributions to country music.

As mainstream country music celebrated a revival of traditional sounds, Douglas’s fiery dobro licks showed up on recordings by Marty Stuart, Randy Travis, and Hank Williams Jr. He has also appeared on albums by artists as diverse as Elvis Costello, Sierra Ferrell, and Mumford & Sons. Among Douglas’s accolades are sixteen Grammys, three Country Music Association Musician of the Year honors, ten International Bluegrass Music Association Dobro Player of the Year awards, and a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. He was the Country Music Hall of Fame’s artist-in-residence in 2008, he received a lifetime achievement award from the Americana Music Association in 2015, and he was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in 2024.
