Norton Buffalo is regarded as one of the most versatile and talented harmonica players in the music business. In Rock, R & B, and Blues circles, as well as in New Age, Country and Jazz circles, he is widely acclaimed as the finest multigenre harmonica player of our time.

His new release, King of the Highway , on Blind Pig Records, is surprisingly, his first solo release since his late-70's albums on Capitol. Buffalo has hardly been idle during that time. For the last twenty-five years Buffalo has been a highly celebrated member of the Steve Miller Band, recorded and toured with some of the top names in music, worked in movies and television, and performed with his own band, the Knockouts.

In addition to his work on record and on stage with Steve Miller, who spotlights Norton's playing at shows and introduces him as "...my partner in harmony..." Buffalo has also been highly sought after as a recording artist, having played on over 100 albums by artists as diverse as Bonnie Raitt (he did that searing harmonica solo on "Runaway" ), Kenny Loggins, The Doobie Brothers (including the Grammy Award-winning "Minute By Minute" , The Marshall Tucker Band, Johnny Cash, David Grisman, Juice Newton, Laurie Lewis and Elvin Bishop.
