Salty Dog was a hard-rock band formed in late 1986 in Los Angeles by Jimmi Bleacher, Scott Lane, Michael Hannon and Khurt Maier. The band released its first and only major-label record in 1990, titled "Every Dog Has Its Day," composed of all original songs except for a cover of Willie Dixon's Spoonful. Guitarist Pete Reveen is the son of the magician Peter Reveen. The band, like many other hard-rock/metal bands in the early 1990s, were lost in the shuffle when the grunge-rock movement hit in late 1991 and swept the nation in 1992.

Salty Dog released only one album titled Every Dog Has Its Day which was released in 1990 by Geffen.
Rumours have it that Salty Dog were to have a video aired on MTV for the single "Come Along", until their A & R representative at Geffen Records (whom they had a dispute with) told the network that if they were to air the song he would withhold the next Guns N' Roses video. The video never aired and the band were dropped from Geffen shortly thereafter.
Michael Hannon currently plays bass and is the lead singer of Hard rock band American Dog.
American Dog is made up of Michael Hannon (bass and vocal), Steve Theado (guitar) and Michael Harris (drums).
Pete Reveen, for some time, had played in the Las Vegas, Nevada-based classic rock tribute band Three Blind Mice.
