A Rockin' Blues Band

“Blues Dawg is a blues powerhouse fronted by singer/guitarist Joe Neri…
…blues with a new-wave attitude.”
-- Blues Revue Magazine
                                       
Blues Dawg is a contemporary electric blues band steeped in the traditions of American blues and roots music. Its repertoire consists of both originals and covers, greatly influenced by the great blues masters of Chicago, Memphis, Texas and California.
 
 
     
                     
       
Blues Dawg was founded by Joe Neri in the mid-90’s in
Los Angeles, playing all of the Southern California
venues and recording two studio and three
live albums.

After moving to Sedona in early 2005, he re-formed
the band, keeping the same basic sound of covers
and original blues.
 
             
                               
Blues Dawg is:
  • Joe Neri – Guitar & Vocals
• Hutch Hutchinson – Bass
• Ed Tortorello – Drums

…frequently joined by other musicians
on guitar, harmonica, keyboard and sax.
