New Family Dog

Newly-signed Dutch Records recording artist New Family Dog is a musical collaboration of veteran guitar player Jon “Blackdog” Ridnell and his son, bassist Miles Ridnell. Based in the musical mecca of Nederland, Colorado where Jon has been called the “most respected musician by other musicians,” they have a repertoire of close to 500 songs, including many originals and covers that lean heavily into bluegrass and Americana. Jon’s resume and credits includes a “Who’s Who” of American Music, having shared stages and performed or recorded with the likes of: Taj Mahal, James Cotton, Blues Traveler, Sally Van Meter, Fred Wesley, Henry Butler, Spin Doctors, Yonder Mountain String Band, John Mooney, Leftover Salmon, and more.

Dave Ridnell

Inspired by the likes of JJ Cale, João Gilberto, and Chet Baker, San Francisco-based Dave Ridnell’s songs cross the Americana landscapes of rhythm & blues, folk, country, and jazz, and at times dip a toe into the musical ocean of Brazil. Dave’s 30+ year musical journey has involved collaborations with artists including Zigaboo Modeliste, “Funky” Leroy Harper, David Kaffinetti, the Brothers Calatayud, and Bororó Felipe. His long-standing songwriting partnership with Brazilian Chico Coelho in Coelho & Ridnell led them to Japan in 2019, where their album "Sunny Day” garnered major radio play and a Top Ten place in the country’s Brazilian Grand Prix Disc Awards. Dave currently is a co-host of Dave & Ray’s Magic Record Shoppe podcast.
