*The Texas Bluesmen!*

In the spring of 2018, Paul Andrews (Jake) went on "A Mission" to form his vision of a tribute to The Blues Brothers for North Texas. As the owner of a Bluesmobile and a performer himself, it was the natural "next step". He found "his brother Elwood" Justin Clark (a multi decade Elwood performer from the Legends show in Branson) who happened to have moved to North Texas. Their first set of shows were called "track shows"...no band just the two doing karaoke style performances. That quickly evolved into forming a small band, then a larger band then the bookings just kept coming. The have performed since 2018 over 500+ shows and counting from small venues to large concert and theater shows. As the band grew in it's popularity, they were asked to perform with Dan Aykroyd & James Belushi in October 2018. In the short time the band has been together, they have played all over Texas, Oklahoma and beyond doing concerts, shows, festivals, car shows, corporate events and appearances. The band was built and molded like the original band as a "who's who" in the North Texas - created with the best musicians from various backgrounds. GURANTEED to keep your guests dancing in the aisles from the first song to the last, all while keeping the dream and legacy created by the late John Belushi & Dan Aykroyd alive and well.
