Mad Dog Blues Solo's first EP, Live & Alone
(Released Aug 1, 2025)
is a recording of the debut performance of Mad Dog Blues Solo, featuring the solo harmonica blues of Mad Dog Friedman. This video was filmed at Longmont Public Media as part of the Cosmos Cooperative's Stellar Sundays Community Potluck & Creative Showcase on June 8, 2025
Mad Dog Friedman has just recorded an audio and video project called Mad Dog Blues - Live & Alone. In the tradition of Peg Leg Sam, Jaybird Coleman, Deford Bailey, and the early recordings of Sonny Terry, Mad Dog's new recording project is a harmonica and vocal performance, recorded live, with no additional accompaniment. It is raw, bare-boned, intense, and definitely worth checking out. Thank you, Mad Dog, for keeping this tradition from dying out. ~ Peter Madcat Ruth, Grammy Award-winning harmonica virtuoso

Mad Dog Friedman Opens Up in Exclusive Interview
"With over one million streams under his belt and a reputation for redefining Colorado country blues, Mad Dog sat down for an exclusive interview you won't want to miss. Known for his gritty sound and soulful storytelling, this conversation dives deep into the legend behind the name, the music, and the man himself. In this intimate sit-down, Mad Dog reveals how his unforgettable nickname was born — and how it connects to his lifelong musical journey. He also shares the powerful advice that's guided his path: "Go to where your fear is — there's power there." It's not just music. Mad Dog opens up about his musical hero with the unforgettable name Mad Cat, and the moment he fell in love with the harmonica — a story that'll give any blues lover chills. And yes, it gets even better." - Bad Hollie Wood, host of the Morning Wood Show.
