"With one foot in the future and one foot in the past, it's all about great music and songs..." states Eric Buffalohead (Ponca), lead guitarist and co-founder of this Minneapolis, MN based Native American Blues-Rock band Bluedog. Along with lead singer and lyricist Joni Buffalohead (Dakota), Bluedog is poised and ready to take America by storm with the release of their debut recording "From All Directions".

Although Bluedog is a Native American band, their unique blend of contemporary blues, rock, R&B and folk gives them an instantly identifiable sound, which appeals to audiences of all genders, ages and creeds. The recognizable influences of legendary acts such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Jimi Hendrix are apparent in the songwriting and musicianship of Bluedog, but with the inclusion of the Janis Joplin and Susan Tedschi inspired vocal talents of lead singer Joni Buffalohead, the Bluedog "sound" is wonderfully innovative, and includes a strong leaning towards their Native American mentors, Indigenous and Redbone. Once in a while a musical force will burst upon the scene and forever change the sonic landscape, Bluedog is that force. Great music and songs are fundamental to a bands success....." Bluedog is a band for the future.
