Fourteen-time, Grammy-winning dobro player Jerry Douglas and his band were at Songbirds about a year and a half ago to play a private event.
As Douglas was leaving, he turned to Mike Dougher, Songbirds entertainment coordinator, and said, “Please bring me back to Songbirds. It’s amazing.”
Well Douglas – and his local fans – got their wish.
Douglas and The Earls of Leicester will take the stage at Songbirds South on Saturday, Sept. 14, for a 9 p.m. show.
The Earls of Leicester are a Grammy-winning bluegrass sextet comprised of Douglas (dobro, vocals), Barry Bales (bass, vocals), Shawn Camp (guitar, lead vocals), Charlie Cushman (banjo, guitars), Johnny Warren (fiddle, bass vocals) and Jeff White (mandolin, vocals).
