Dan Aykroyd and Judith Belushi Present:
“THE ORIGINAL BLUES BROTHERS™ BAND”
It was always about the music. Jake and Elwood may have fronted
the show, but to back them up they made sure to have the meanest,
sickest line-up of badass blues cats ever assembled. These were the
men behind Roberta Flack, Blood Sweat and Tears, Paul McCartney,
Frank Zappa, Dr John, Paul Simon, and the SNL Band — just to
name a few. These players have since emerged as a powerful entity
in their own right, and although scheduling makes it difficult, they
have played together sporadically over the past three decades. Since
regrouping in 1988, the ‘Original’ Blues Brothers Band has
triumphantly performed in international venues large and small,
headlining at most of the jazz and blues festivals throughout Europe,
such as Nimes Fair, France; North Sea Jazz Festival, the
Netherlands; Pistoia Blues Festival, Italy; and, most famously, at the
Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, playing to audiences
estimated up to 60,000 in one performance. Book them for a night
of masterful, magical, chest-thumpin’ blues, gospel, and soul. …
