Artist History These guys have opened up for everyone in the buisness because they can't be pigeon holed into one catagory. Diversity and pleasing the crowd are also big check marks in the healers' pro column. Some of the more notable groups they have performed with are: Social Distortion, Marky Ramone, Total Chaos, C.C. Deville (poison), Kid Rock (don't know how that happened), Warrant, The Misfits, Enuff-z-Nuff, Mojo Nixon, Impotent Sea Snakes, Insane Clown Posse, C.J. Ramone and Los Gusanos, Pretty Boy Floyd, Big Bad Zero, Nada Surf, Etc.. The bad boys of Cleveland punk-cock-rock-n-roll are currently being guided through the first steps of thier climb to the top of rock by thier close friends and mentors, Jani Lane and Billy Morris of Warrant who are taking the reigns of executive producers on the first full length release by The Healers tentatively titled " America's Third Shift Worker". The boys have been penciled in as one of warrant's opening acts for thier spring and summer tours as well as a number of solo headlining slots across the dismal mid-west, east coast, and florida/ texas runs. You can usually catch them once a month or so in Cleve-Oh, where they say that they couldn't be more proud of being from.

Press Reviews "These guys (the healers) are way too good to be an opening act. When they were done with thier set i was almost afraid to go up after them. They are what rock and roll is all about." -C.C. Deville (poison) " It sucks when your friend (david carpenter) has a better voice and writes better songs then you. You guys are going to be huge stars!" -Jani Lane (warrant) "If you've never been.... you need to go see these guys. The energetic frenzy of rock and roll whipped up on stage nightly is just an amazing thing to see. They really make everyone feel like they are friends of thiers and they know how to keep the crowd involved in the show from the first note to the last." - Courtney Baker (Spot Magazine) " They had the tatoos, the right hair, the right look,and the energy that every good rock band needs these days." -Mike Heaton (Scene Magazine) " I definatly see where these guys are coming from. It's good rock and roll!" -Mike Ness (social distortion)
