Fred & The Healers are a Belgian blues and blues-rock band formed in 1994, led by Fred Lani, who went through a hiatus in 2004 before reforming in 2013 and settling into a current lineup from 2022 with Fred Lani, Bertrand Lani and Nicolas Sand (Source: Discogs). Over three decades the band has released nine studio recordings, from their self-titled 1996 debut through "I Gotta Leave" (1998), "Electerrified" (2001) and "Red" (2004) to the recent "No Escape" (2025) (Source: Discogs). The band's reach beyond club shows is documented by appearances on the "Dour Festival 'New Grass' 6" and "Sounds Like... Belgium" compilations (2001) and on "Artistes De Wallonie-Bruxelles - Montreux 2004," tying the band to the Montreux Jazz Festival's Belgian showcase (Source: Discogs). Former members over the band's history include Papy X, Cédric Cornez, Marc Lhommel, Jean-Marie Lani, Axel Muller, Jerome Boquet and drummer Bruno Castellucci (Source: Discogs).

Musical Influence

Fred & The Healers' three-decade run and appearances on both the Dour Festival and Montreux showcase compilations reflect the staying power of Belgium's club-level blues-rock scene through changing lineups (Source: Discogs).
