Band Members

Joni Buffalohead-Lead Vocal:
[Bdewakantowan/Dakota] Co-founder and singer-songwriter, Joni got her start in music as a conga and bongos player. She quickly developed an interest in vocals and took off from there. The Bluedog band was founded to give Joni the opportunity to be lead vocalist in a blues rock band.

Eric Buffalohead-Guitar:
[Ponca] Co-founder and lead guitarist, Eric has been playing in bands for over twenty years. In that time he has covered various categories of music including; classic rock, oldies, blues, country and reggae. His real love is in the genre of blues and the Bluedog band has been his chance to play the music that is in his heart.

Tom Suess-Bass: Tom's solid bass playing and backing vocals are a key element to the bluedog sound. Tom brings years of experience playing in multiple genres of music.

Chuck Davis-Conga/Bongos and Timbales: [Lakota] Congas and Bongos, Chuck joined Bluedog after a long stint of touring nationally with Brule. Chuck has had a long career in music that has taken him around the United States. His playing abilities add new dimensions to the Bluedog sound.

Bob Simons-Drums: [Mdewakantonwan/Assinaboine] Bob is the newest member of the Bluedog Band. Along with over 30 years experience on the drums, Bob brings to the table a plethora of musical styles, including Rock, Fusion, Funk, R&B and Swing. But it wasn't until playing a gig with The Legendary Blues Band (Muddy Waters' backing band) back in 1986 that Bob became a true disciple of the Blues. Bob's thunderous groove and 'windy' interpretation of the Bluedog sound has brought the band's music into a new dimension."

Alexandra Buffalohead-Backing Vocals, Keyboard:
[Bdewakantowan/Dakota] Alex is the youngest addition to the Bluedog lineup. The daughter of lead vocalist Joni and lead guitarist Eric, Alex has the ability to emulate her mothers voice exactly. She has provided well rounded backing vocals and has recently put years of piano lesson to use by playing keyboard on some songs.

   About BLUEDOG

Bluedog was nominated for Best Blues/Jazz record in the 2007 Native American Music awards. Bluedog was nominated for Indian Summer Music Award In the Blues Category 2006. Bluedog was also nominated for 2 Native American Music Awards for: Best Blues and Best Debut artist/group in 2006.

"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."
