Blue Healers is a roots music duo who incorporate elements of blues and folk with aural landscapes, danceable grooves and strong 50'/60’s/70’s blues influences. Both musicians pull from a wide range of sounds and textures. Don Forsyth is a soulful and innovative guitarist with equal amounts of attack and grace. Diane Forsyth is a smooth alto who plays a little bass with a big sound.
Voted Best Duo, Female Vocalist 2025, 2024 and Best New Band 2024 by The Washington Blues Society. They released the album Transmissions in 2023 and the EP Astro Blues in 2024. Blue Healers advanced to the semi-finals at the International Blues Challenge 2024 in Memphis Tennessee.
The duo relocated to their hometown San Diego after spending over three decades in the Pacific Northwest. After 30 years of playing and performing together, this has been their busiest year yet.
