Description
BRIEFCASE BLUES™ is a live musical show-band and revue based on the "Blues Brothers" characters originally created by Saturday Night Live comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. Of all the tributes and look-alikes around the world dedicated SOLELY to portraying the Blues Brothers live onstage (with or without a band) only one group – BRIEFCASE BLUES™ - has held the honor now for a total of TWENTY-EIGHT years, complete with a full-sized professional band.
BASED in the UNITED STATES, founded in 1983 (one year after John Belushi's untimely death) and STILL going strong, BRIEFCASE is backed by a hot 8-piece showband (4 horns, 4 rhythm players) - while the stars of the show J.W. Leggio (as Jake) and Lee Schwing (as Elwood) faithfully re-create the "Brothers" characters in true Belushi & Aykroyd style!
This band has the unique pleasure of offering some of the real musicians from the original film and band including Tom "Bones" Malone, Willie "Too Tall" Hall and Lou "Blue Lou" Marini. They also can feature other tributes in their show to Ray Charles, James Brown and of course, Aretha Franklin.
