The Colorado harmonica legend, Mad Dog Friedman, has long been renowned for his blistering leads, funky rhythms, and raw and soulful blues. Mad Dog's song writing talent is exploding with the creative camaraderie and stylistic diversity of Papa Juke. Over the years Mad Dog has jammed with Ed Cassidy (the drummer of 1960's band, Spirit), Jason Ricci's New Blood, Sugar Blue and Philip Walker. Also on many separate occasions Mad Dog has played harp with Bob Margolin, Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson and Willie "Big Eyes" Smith -- all long time members of the former Muddy Waters' Band. Although originally from St. Louis, Mad Dog is a seasoned veteran of the Colorado music scene having opened in the 1980's for such acts as Marshal Tucker, Jerry Jeff Walker, Pure Prairie League, Country Joe McDonald, Asleep at the Wheel and Firefall.
