The Jeff Healey Band, fronted by the remarkably talented Canadian guitarist and vocalist Jeff Healey, was a blues-rock powerhouse that left an indelible mark on the music scene from the late 1980s through the 1990s. Born in Toronto, Ontario, on March 25, 1966, Jeff Healey was a musical prodigy despite losing his sight to retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer, at just one year old. He developed a unique style of playing the guitar flat on his lap, and his soulful voice complemented his virtuosic guitar skills perfectly. The band shot to fame with their 1988 debut album, "See The Light," which included the hit single "Angel Eyes" and showcased Healey's fiery blend of rock and blues.

Over the years, The Jeff Healey Band continued to garner acclaim with memorable albums and electrifying live performances, as heard in the many live recordings they released, such as "Live at Grossman's - 1994" and "Live At Montreux 1999." The band's music, characterized by Healey's intense guitar solos and the group's blues-infused rock, won them a dedicated fanbase and recognition worldwide. Tragically, Healey passed away on March 2, 2008, after a battle with cancer, but the legacy of The Jeff Healey Band lives on through their extensive catalog of live and studio recordings, including posthumous releases that continue to celebrate the group's significant contribution to music.
