Hey peeps! Welcome! It’s been a while since we’ve shared any updates on ‘SEE THE LIGHT: The Jeff Healey Story‘, the upcoming official Jeff Healey documentary. Rest assured, we’ve not been resting on our laurels.
Between, all the planning, the travel, the interviews, a production team shuffle behind the scenes (more on that in another update)… not to mention the Road House: The Lost Soundtrack release last month… We’ve been pretty busy!
It has been an absolutely crazy cool whirlwind…
A good deal of our time from January to April was spent on the road… Los Angeles (twice!), Vancouver, Victoria, Nashville, Toronto (and some nearby locales), New York City (twice!)… and back again!
We have had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with some of Jeff’s friends and colleagues, some tremendously talented folks and some straight up bonafide music Legends (that’s right, capital ‘L’ and everything…)!!
And we’ve been cruising through what we’ve taken to calling, “the tour of natural disasters”. Lol! Snowstorm in Nashville, Snowstorm in Vancouver, Flooding and torrential rains in California, Snowstorm in Collingwood… you get the picture.
We are currently on a short break while some other business is being taken care of, then we pick up the shoot again in Toronto during the last two weeks of August.
But, we didn’t want to leave ya’ll hanging so we put together a fresh new teaser for you to keep the juices flowin’!
Now, this is just a taste folks. Most of the footage is only from the first round of interviews… The finished film is still about a year away, but it is seriously going to kick your backsides. Trust me on this.
So, without further adieu… Dig!
There is still a lot of work to do and a long road ahead. We are aiming for a world-wide release in 2025…
Updates should be a bit more regular going forward now, so stay tuned!
This is the only official feature-length Jeff Healey documentary. Accept no substitutes! 😁
Peace all!

I can’t wait to watch this! I’ve loved this man since I was a little girl and he’s what inspired me to try guitar. Jeff Healey has been a pinnacle part of my life and he deserves so much recognition for his musical talent as well as for being an amazing person. He is greatly missed.
Jeff Healey has always been one of my favourites of all time i still remember walking through the streets of Adelaide seeing Jeff Healey See The Light posters suck up everywhere i still listen to that album today can’t friggin wait to watch this doco..
I went to see him play in Leicestershire at the De-montford university in the UK, 89/90 I was absolutely blown away, I have been a fan ever since, I really can’t wait to learn more about this great musician.
Waiting patiently to see this.
Thank you for all your hard work .❤️
Thank goodness someone finally did a full documentary! I enjoyed Tom Stephens online documentary but I would truly love to see the entire story! I remember the day that it was announced when Jeff passed and I was deeply crushed for weeks. So much mojo sent to his wife who was suffering too.
I can’t wait to see this!
Went to school with Jeff at ECI and sat behind him in Mr. Macdonalds Grade 9 French Class. Got to be good buddies with him and followed his great career. Was sad to hear of his passing but soooo excited to see this film!
Jeff Healey was my idol throughout high school. Such a musical icon that left too soon. Can’t wait for this movie to come out.
GREAT TO SEE THIS STORY COME OUT! I WAS A FRIEND OF HIS IN THE VERY EARLY DAYS, AND USE TO GO SEE HIM AT GROSMANS, AND ALL THE OTHER BARS IN THE CORE. I WAS HIS GUITAR TECH FROM 81′ TILL HE WENT TO THE U.S. TO DO ROAD HOUSE. I USE TO MAKE HIM TEMPERED TREM BARS AS HE WAS BREAKING THE ONES THAT CAME WITH THE AXE, AND I DID MODS, AND SETUPS FOR HIM AS WELL. BUT THE MOST MEMORABLE THING I DID FOR HIM WAS I MODDED HIS CRY BABY WHA-WHA, AFTER HE HEARD MINE WHEN I PLAYED WITH HIM AT THE WEEKEND JAMS AT BRANKO’S ON BLOOR&LANSDOWN, HE TURNED TO ME AND SAID, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!! I TOLD HIM IT WAS MY WHA, HE SAID MINE DOES NOT SOUND LIKE THAT? SO I TOLD HIM I DID A FEW CHANGES, AND HE WANTED ME TO DO HIS, WHICH I DID, AND IT IS THE WHA THAT WAS FEATURED ON SEE THE LIGHT.
HE SHOUD DEFINITELY BE NOMINATED FOIR THE ROCK HALL OF FAME!!!!!
