The Blues Brothers Revival

Description

The Blues Brothers Revival Band" first formed in 1984. Original bookings were local, however by the 90’s tour destinations had included every state in Australia followed assorted destinations overseas. The biggest audience being 11000 people at "Expo" in Brisbane 1988. This makes The Blues Brothers Revival one of the first, most successful and longest running tribute shows in Australia now celebrating 40 years.
Appearances on Australian television shows Countdown, 60 Minutes, Rock Arena, Simon Townsend Wonder World, Midday Show and Hey Hey it's Saturday kept the energy flowing, with tours ... constant for 15 years.
Since the 1980's many things have changed but Jake (Styne Ashton) and Elwood (Darren Sangwell) still deliver a show with all the old crowd favourites plus some new fun tunes. Blues Brothers can party anywhere any time, from sweat drenched pub gigs to a family oriented Carols by Candlelight or a high flying Co-operate event, appealing to all ages from ages 8 to 80.
The 10-piece Band over the years has enticed an amazing ensemble of musicians. Players from the bands behind some of Australia’s biggest names (Jimmy Barnes, Marcia Hines, Brian Cadd, Glen Shorrock, Cold Chisel, Moving Pictures, Mental as Anything, Ice House, Damien Leith and international star Leo Sayer, have all played their part to keep the show the professional standard it is. We are proud to say today’s line up consists of some of Australia’s finest musicians, bringing the same quality and standard to which fans are accustomed.
The show consists of 2 sets totalling over 2 hours of non-stop crowd orientated fun that features songs from the Blues Brothers movie. Shake your Tailfeather; Sweet Home Chicago; Everybody needs somebody to love and Minnie the Moocher plus RnB Classics Hold on I’m coming, Shout and many more, plus an appearance by The “Fat Penguin” to bring you the songs Respect and Think made Famous by Aretha Franklin and Proud Mary “Tina Turner”, complete with dance routines and lines from the movie.
So…If you have forgotten what its like to have fun, grab your hat n sunnies and take a trip back to Chicago to shake your tailfeathers... with the show band of Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues....
