About Mad Dog Blues:

International recording artist, Mad Dog Friedman, harmonica player, musical innovator and founder of many popular Colorado blues acts over the years including King ComfortHarmonica LoowinskiPapa Juke, the Mojo Medicine Show & Blue Lightning, has put together an acoustic blues jam band with a unique blues style indigenous to Colorado in the 21st Century while still honoring his blues roots. We call this music Colorado Country Blues because it combines the “Colorado Sound” (jam grass) with traditional rural blues. The result is Mad Dog Blues, a coalition of top-notch, veteran musicians dedicated to exploring this new sound in both their song writing and performances. Along with Mad Dog Friedman on harmonica, Mad Dog Blues (5 piece band) includes Jeff "Bone Head " Becker (Hippie Buckaroos) on mandolin, Clark "The Champ" Chanslor (White Water Ramble) on stand-up bass, Sean "Rocket" Bennight (from St. Louis) on acoustic guitar and Mark "Kaz" Kaczorowski (Blues on the Lamb) on slide and acoustic guitar. We hope you enjoy our original “Colorado Country Blues” sound, a unique fusion of delta blues, bluegrass, honky-tonk, hokum and acoustic jam music.
