The Mad Dog Blues String BandInnovative. Organic. Colorado‑born.
Mad Dog Friedman is an internationally known harmonica player, songwriter and Native American flute composer. He's a straight-ahead musical innovator who lets his heart do the talking.
The Mad Dog Blues String Band is his full on, acoustic roots outfit. The sound is Colorado to the bone: Delta blues grit, bluegrass bounce, honky‑tonk swagger, hokum jive and conversational acoustic jams are all woven into their root-centric, original sound. These are real people playing real music: songs with memorable hooks, honest lyrics, and a live energy that lands somewhere between a porch jam and a full‑blown revival. Labels fall short; if you need one, call it Colorado acoustic roots. If you want the truth, call it Mad Dog Blues.
Mad Dog Friedman (performing his solo harmonica blues as Mad Dog Blues Solo) is the Solo/Duo Winner of the 2026 Colorado Blues Challenge.
The Mad Dog Blues Duo is the Solo/Duo Winner of the 2024 Mile High Blues Society Blues Challenge.
Gratitude (2022), our full band studio CD, was the Winner of the Pikes Peak Blues Community's Best Self-Produced CD Contest 2023.
