 The Blues Brothers Band is alive and well. Five original
members hand-picked by John Belushi And Dan Aykroyd have assembled the ultimate
rhythm and blues review and have emerged as a powerful entity in their own
right. The Blues Brothers Band is best known for the Universal Pictures feature
film "The Blues Brothers" and the Atlantic Record triple-platinum album
"Briefcase Full Of Blues." Since regrouping in 1988, The Blues Brothers Band has
triumphantly performed each year in international venues large and small. In
Europe The Blues Brothers Band band played an unprecedented three sold-out
nights in Paris' prestigious Olympia Theatre where the seats were removed for
the first time in the history of the theatre to accommodate the excitement
exchanged between the band and the audience during their performance. The Blues
Brothers Band have headlined 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; Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland; and to
audiences estimated up to 80,000 in one performance. The Blues Brothers Band's
album "Live in Montreux" was recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival and is
available on WEA, as is their second album "Red, White, and Blues" which
featured guest Dan "Elwood Blues" Aykroyd on vocals and harmonica. Recent
highlights of The Blues Brothers Band "Mission" include performing in Atlanta
coinciding with the Grand Opening of the Summer Olympics, headlining in the
Super Bowl in New Orleans along with James Brown and ZZ Top and starring in
their full length film "Blues Brothers 2000" with Dan "Elwood Blues" Aykroyd and
John "Mighty Mack Blues" Goodman.
