The Blues Brothers

Intro The Blues Brothers was an American blues and soul revivalist band founded in 1978 by Dan Akroyd and John Belushi as part of a musical comedy sketch on "Saturday Night Live." Both Dan Akroyd and John Belushi were lead vocalists. John Belushi playing "Joliet" Jake Blues, and Dan Akroyd playing Elwood Blues. Elwood could also play a great tune with his harmonica. The band was composed of well known musicians alongside the Blues Brothers, as musical guests on "Saturday Night Live"; they performed such songs like "soul man" and "hey bartender." The Blues Brothers released their debut album the same year called "briefcase full of blues", and they opened for such bands like "the grateful dead." The success of the band would spawn their own film in 1980. They've had a sequel, and several revival tours since. The Blues Brothers are out of prison, but they want to put the band back together. They hear how talented you are as a musician, and try to recruit you into the band.
