The HISTORY of the SIXES...

Let's start at the beginning, the very beginning- for those of you who are familiar with the band but maybe never really paid much attention to the biography and history of Healing Sixes.

Way back in 98- Doug, Jonee G (currently the bass player for John Mellencamp), and drummer Wade Parish began rehearsals here in Indianapolis playing infant Healing Sixes songs like "Travelogue", She Calls it Graces, and "End of Conversation". A short time later, Wade got himself involved in a serious motorcycle accident that left him in a wheelchair and unable to play drums. With MUCH REGRET (there you go Wade), Doug moved on with another drummer. Soon after that, he hooked up with Eric and Chaz to complete the first performing version of Healing Sixes.

Within a year we'd recorded and toured, and along the way we developed a great friendship with Jason. Around Christmas in ‘99, a memorable call came from Jason offering his skills to Healing Sixes. Excited by the groove-aciousness that Jason would bring to the band, our drummer was let go.

So we recorded an album with Kevin, played many shows, drove many miles, drank way too much, made lots of friends, wrote lots of songs, and most importantly- had many, many great stories and memories along the way.

Chaz has since moved to sunny Florida to bask in the sun and babes and we've brought in Jeff Stone to cover the bass shoes. 

After a few years, we've finally finished our third recording "One Less Friend to Ignore", and couldn't be happier about it.
