One of the world’s most popular soul and rhythm and blues line-ups, The Original Blues Brothers Band, famous for the films of the same name, will perform at this year’s Nišville Jazz Festival on Thursday, 13 August.
The band, which performs under the patronage and with the permission of actor Dan Aykroyd and the widow of John Belushi, who starred alongside Aykroyd in the original 1980 film The Blues Brothers, is led by original members Lou Marini, Tom Malone and Murphy Dunne.
The Blues Brothers have remained an institution and a synonym for top-quality music even after the death of John Belushi. In 1998, a sequel entitled Blues Brothers 2000 was released, featuring appearances by Junior Wells, Eddie Floyd, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Erykah Badu and Blues Traveler.
Also appearing as members of The Louisiana Gator Boys – the band that faces the Blues Brothers in the musical showdown at the end of the film – were B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Gary U.S. Bonds, Jack DeJohnette, Bo Diddley, Dr. John, Isaac Hayes, Billy Preston, Lou Rawls, Joshua Redman, Koko Taylor, Grover Washington Jr., Steve Winwood, Jon Faddis and Charlie Musselwhite.
