Featured Artist: The Blues Brothers
Starring Dan Aykroyd & Jim Belushi
The "Saturday Night Live" gala features the original, the one and only, the certified, not an imitation...The Blues Brothers starring Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi. In November 1978, Jake and Elwood Blues made their national television debut (and first paying gig) on "Saturday Night Live" with their breakthrough, high-energy rendition of Sam Dave's classic "Soul Man." It was  an overnight sensation that catapulted these two brothers from Calumet City, Ill., to the heights of stardom. "Soul Man" sparked a national summer tour, two platinum albums and the landmark feature film, "The Blues Brothers."
Twenty-two years later, after the passing of Jake, the long-lost Brother Zee finally peeled his face from the gutter to carry on the family tradition: a high-energy, authentic, rhythm-and-blues showband with a South Memphis accent and an East Texas kick. Elwood Blues returns as "the legacy" and joins Brother Zee as "the blood," singing and dancing their way through all the greatest Blues Brothers hits. "Sweet Home, Chicago," "Messin' with the Kid" and of course "Soul Man" all backed by the internationally renowned Sacred Hearts.
Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see The Blues Brothers live at the "Saturday Night Live" gala Feb. 26, 2011, at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel. For more information, click here. |
