Don Forsyth played guitar for popular blues band The Mississippi Mudsharks, packing beach clubs before moving up to Seattle with Diane, who was writing and performing solo at the time and booking a vibrant music club. They eventually formed Blue Healers, who were nominated Best Blues Band by the Seattle Weekly in 2009, then later Town Hall Brawl, a four piece rock band who's debut album Excuses was released in 2013.
