Blue Healers Band

Mike Ward and Craig Balderston coupled with John Pennington and Mike Ferguson, made a helluva band, tackling everything from the Allman Brothers to Hoagy Carmichael. Through all the band's incarnations over the last 11 years, the connecting fiber has been playing great songs as well as attempting anything your level of inebriation will allow. The current lineup (and it looks like this one's around for a long time) is Pennington on drums and vocals, Ferguson on guitar, keyboards and vocals, Ward on bass, and Tom "Pepperhead" Green on guitar, vocals and security.

It's all about the music and the fun, not about taking it all too seriously. When people ask us why we don't try to make it to the "big time," we just tell 'em that we're all family guys with days jobs who are trying to hang on to a little bit of our youth by playing good music for good people. And whether it's in front of thousands, like when we opened for the Doobie Brothers, or dozens at a wedding dance at a little old VFW Hall in western Kansas, as long as the people have fun, the Healers have fun.
