LeRoy " Bluesdog" Falconi was born in New London, CT, and raised in Quaker Hill, CT. His introduction to music came very easy watching and listening to his father, "Ramblin Roy Friend" a country legend of the "Cousin Johnny Country Show" , radio and traveling show.

LeRoy got started at an early age singing for friends and family. His songs included old hits from Hank Williams, Conway Twitty and Charlie McCoy. Eventually he saw his father pick up an instrument called the "sweet potato" as well as the harmonica. LeRoy soon after picked up the harmonica and years later was fine tuning his music and style.

LeRoy is a blues harmonica player with a multi faceted contemporary twist. He has an authentic, pure mixture of the old traditional blues and the wave of a rockish blues blend. LeRoy's love of life, music, experiences and traditions has created his style. He has a background of studying such great harmonica players as Sonny Terry, James Cotton, Kim Wilson, William Clark, Charlie Musselwhite, John Popper, Rod Piazza and many others. His music and playing style is influenced by several musical idioms including country, blues, rock and heavy metal. Bluesdog's tremendous spirit, passion and energy comes through on every song! He plays as those of both past and present legends. Some have even called him the Jimi Hendrix of the harmonica, the James Cotton of today's blues and the new Charlie McCoy of country music. He's an extremely versatile player who has handled all types of situations that may arise in any performance.
