To the Boomers and Gen Xers, the BOOZE Brothers’ tribute to the original Fabulous Blues Brothers’ Show Band and Revue will be well known!

As a refresher for the younger generation, they were an American blues and soul revue band founded in 1978 by comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, who met and began collaborating as original cast members of Saturday Night Live.

The Fabulous Blues Brothers’ Show Band and Musical Revue consisted of lead vocalist “Joliet” Jake Blues (Belushi) and his brother, Elwood (Aykroyd), who played a harmonica that he carried onstage in a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. The duo was usually dressed in matching black suits, black pencil ties, black trilby hats and sunglasses.

Their band was carefully constructed from experienced studio musicians of the time and the act debuted as musical guest on Saturday Night Live, hosted by comedian Steve Martin.

After recruiting a full band including studio musicians in the amazing SNL band, the group opened for Steve Martin at the Universal Amphitheatre later that year and released a live album, Briefcase Full of Blues, which rose to the top of the charts and was a platinum seller. They secured their fame with the comedy film The Blues Brothers in 1980 and remain the most successful blues revue act of all time.

Have a fabulous flash-back to those glory days of Blues and Soul – dancing to The Fabulous Booze Brothers Show Band and Revue in Lincoln Hall on Saturday, October 25 at 7:30 PM! Beer and Wine for sale (cash bar) and dancing at the back of the hall.
