Stick shifts and Blues Brothers are treasures that need to be passed on to future generations-
these 2 boys nail it keeping love of Blues Brothers alive! You will not be able to sit still - Jake Elwood (heart be still) is a spitting image, and Elwoods dancing is infectious! Super fun for older and young - the delight on my children’s faces watching mom twist with Jake was an imprint moment for sure.
Wouldn’t hesitate to hire, without a doubt would be highlight of any event!

This interactive show boasts up to 60 minutes of non-stop energy complete with all of the familiar songs from the hit movie "The Blues Brothers" and "Saturday Night Live". A great way to kick off any meeting, bring the house down after an awards ceremony, or save as the featured act for your corporate function.
The Band Show
The lights go out and as the curtains open revealing the “Blues Brothers Band", wearing prison shirts, getting everyone in the "blues mood" as they play "Green Onions". At the end of the song, the Blues Brothers familiar intro music begins. As "Can't Turn You Loose" plays, Jake and Elwood are introduced. With briefcase in hand, Elwood takes center stage, while Jake unlocks the handcuffs and launches into his trademark cartwheel, kick-starting this Broadway style production.
Over the next 60 minutes, your audience will be dancing in the aisles as Jake and Elwood sing their greatest hits, including "Soul Man", "Everybody Needs Somebody", "Gimme Some Lovin'," "Rawhide," and many more. The Blues Brothers bring the house down with "Sweet Home Chicago" as they lead your CEO or special guest to the stage to join Jake and Elwood as an "Honorary Blues Brother." Your pre-selected victim will be presented with sunglasses and instructed to dance with Elwood to the delight of the screaming fans. By the end of the song, Elwood will be in the audience forming a human "Blues Train" that will have everyone on their feet.

Recommendations:
• "Blues Brothers Band" can start the evening as a jazz trio for dinner music, then expand into a high-energy 8-Piece dance band.
• If the Blues Brothers are appearing after an awards ceremony, it is recommended that bar service stations are located inside the ballroom.
• The best way to present the show is to hype it! Display pictures or posters of the Blues Brothers, or have Jake and Elwood pass out sunglasses.
Book the Bluesmobile!
• You may also book the actual "Bluesmobile" and have Jake and Elwood speed into your venue, hop out of the car and run to the stage. A great enhancement for outdoor events.
