New Website
Hello friends, I am so excited to let you all know that I will be changing this website in many ways.
Please come back soon, and check out the new site soon.
The Blues are an expression of trouble in mind,trouble in body,trouble in soul.And when a man has trouble, it helps him to express it, to let it be known. To do otherwise would give the Devil a victory. One of the strengths of Blues is its unfaltering capacity to uplift its audience through the expression of shared emotions. When a person thinks he is the only one in hot water he's miserable,But when he gets to realise that others have the same kind of trouble___or even worse___ he understands that life isn't just picking on him alone.

supper club in downtown Edmonton. Jesters presented many international
acts from Phyllis Diller to Gary Muledeer, Harry Anderson and a young
Andrew "Dice" Clay. That New Year’s
Eve, his partner chickened out of an opening slot for the“Bad

Harpdog Brown was one of the most amazing harp players I've seen in a while. The crowds were minimal because it was the long weekend but those that stayed in town were treated to one great night. Having started his career in 1980, he's now been doing the blues for 21 years and has played in all four corners of the continent. His latest CD was recorded at The Vat in Red Deer, Alberta last October and is one of the few live recordings I've heard that a
ONCE IN A HOWLIN' MOON
Well with a name like Harpdog, it's pretty obvious this guy is a harmonica player, and a damned solid one at that.
This is a CD with one of those quirky numerology type backgrounds. It was recorded live on Friday the 13th at the Vat in Red Deer, Alta. on a night Brown was booked into room 313 of his hotel. The resulting CD has 13-cuts, so there just might be a little voodoo at work on this one.
Brown and the Bloodhounds are an Alberta based gro
Blues Plate Special
If you don’t already know, the Pacific Northwest is a hotbed for blues artists; there are more blues nightclubs in Portland now than in its entire history. KGON hosts a 4-day Blues Festival every July 4th,and one of the highlights at last summer’s show was Harpdog Brown & The Bloodhounds. Their new CD just released, Home is where the harp is, is a true Pacific Northwest blues masterpiece.
Internet Sharing!!
YEAH, YEAH, YOU’VE GOT AN OPINION on it I've got an opinion, and boy does Metallica have an opinion on it. But whether you think downloading songs off the Internet is ethical or not, it’s still the best way for an indie blues singer / harmonica player like Harpdog Brown to get his music out there.
"Word gets around slowly, but now I've noticed that with all these Internet sharing programs, that people around the globe have come across my music." explains the harmonica player. "Its great for peo

"There's never been any question in my mind; Harpdog Brown is absolutely the 'genuine item, the real thing'. I'll say the same thing Eric Burdon once said to me,
"We're wild dogs from the same pack!"

Powder Blues
Brown is an excellent singer and band leader who reminds me a lot of the late Hock Walsh and he has put together a program that you can often hear in clubs but seldom so well played ........ heavy on blues feeling.

Isn’t it nice to know that all the “fast – food / flavor of the week” blues artist are easily dispensed with when compared with the REAL THING.I mean the bona-fide,totally authentic purveyor of heart and soul, down-in-the-alley blues.And,believe you me,Harpdog Brown and the Bloodhounds are purveyors with pedigree.

I have always loved the way Harpdog Brown can take an audience and make them listen to your every word without yellin! I have a great deal of respect for the Dog as an artist and a friend.

“The Bloodhounds twang out a sound that punctuates the emotions, instead of overwhelming them-or trying to make them seem heroic…That’s the essence of Blues”
Missoula Independent

“They play the blues naturally and without gimmicks or pretension, and when you combine that with their talent, it places them at the top of their trade…You won’t find a better blues band in Canada.”
