Shotgun Blues

We are a tribute that prides itself on truly being authentic. It's as if 1980 showed up at your event and wants the Blues Brothers back! We sing Blues Brothers songs. ONLY. We do not make modern references. We act like the Blues Brothers. So, don't be surprised to find some silverware gone or have your women taken by the end of the event. All your women!

We focus on interacting with the audience, not just putting on a memorized show. We work within the environment and elements. It's what blues music is all about. Predictable unpredictability. And it's what makes our tribute stand apart from the rest.

Hats, sunglasses, cartwheels, seemingly unrehearsed dancing and LOTS of Jake and Elwood shtick.

Who knows when Bumblebees might show up? Law enforcement may find their way to the venue! And, of course, when you need to quench your thirst, we've got three Orange Whips. Tons of hijinks is what you're about to witness, so call your mom and tell her you may not be home for a while!

"Well folks, it's time to call it a night. Do what you feel and keep both feet on the wheel. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here. So till next time..." - Jake Blues

We have been performing together for over 15 years. From the backyards of some of our favorite clients to the arenas of Fortune 500 companies who want the best tribute to John and Dan’s finest work, we continue to entertain audiences of all sizes, at any and all locations and destinations.

We get our inspiration from legends of the music world, back when music was... well, MUSIC. Every time we take the stage, we are not only paying tribute to one of the finest television & film comedy and musical duos of all times, but also paying respect to such legends as Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, Robert Johnson, Sam Cooke, Booker T & the M.G.’s, Wilson Pickett and all things Staxx.

Plainly said, "We’re on a mission from God... and the mission is the music!"
