Details:
"Blind-Dog" Gatewood is a native of the Motor City and has been a music teacher, instrument technician and professional musician since the age of 16.
His early exposure to some of the diverse musical influences in Detroit created the framework for his extensive mastery of the blues via R&B, funk, rock, and fusion.
He is an award-winning one-man act who has polished his chops in places as far-flung as the Sierra foothills, the Mojave Desert, Mississippi delta and the streets of New Orleans. In September, 2002 he took the first prize in Colorado at the Telluride Acoustic Blues competition. First place winners are honored with a performance on the main stage the following day at the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival for over seven thousand attendees. That same year he won the Kentuckiana Blues Society''s Blues Challenge out of Louisville Kentucky and represented the Society at the International Blues Challenge on Beale Street in Memphis Tennessee. This Year "Blind-Dog" was a Finalist for the 1st Annual International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMA) In the category of AMERICANA/ROOTS/AAA, for his song "TELLURIDE". In June "Blind-Dog" took first place in the Memphis Blues Society''s Battle of the Blues solo division on Beale Street and will represent them at the International Blues Challenge in late January in Memphis.
Truly, a one-man band, "Blind-Dog" is now based out of Newburgh, Indiana.
