He has performed solo, in addition to being singer/guitarist and primary songwriter of rock band The Mother Hips. He is part of the duo the Skinny Singers with Jackie Greene, and is a member of The Rhythm Devils (featuring The Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann), Ball-Point Birds (with Hips co-founder Greg Loiacono), and his wife's band Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers.

In 2005, with San Diego-based singer/songwriter/guitarist Steve Poltz, Bluhm founded The High Sierra Singer/Songwriter Workshop. The four day backcountry experience offers attendees the opportunity to write songs and learn from two of California's most renowned songwriters in one of the country's most esteemed locations.
