Winners of The National Tribute Music Awards 2016, The Chicago Blue Brothers features Chris Hindle as Joliet ‘Jake’ Blues and Gareth Davey as Elwood Blues fronting a nine-piece band.

The production captures the sound, energy, humour and characters that propelled John Landis’ classic 1980 film to worldwide fame. The Blues Brothers starred John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Carrie Fisher, and the late and hugely inspirational Aretha Franklin, all helped this film achieve worldwide cult status.
