Blues Brothers: Briefcase Blues
Artist Information
BRIEFCASE BLUES is a live musical show-band and revue based on the “Blues Brothers” characters originally created by Saturday Night Live comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. Of all the tributes and look-alikes around the world dedicated SOLELY to portraying the Blues Brothers live onstage (with or without a band) only one group – BRIEFCASE BLUES – has held the honor now for a total of TWENTY-EIGHT years, complete with a full-sized professional band.
BASED in the UNITED STATES, founded in 1983 (one year after John Belushi’s untimely death) and STILL going strong, BRIEFCASE is backed by a hot 8-piece showband (4 horns, 4 rhythm players) – while the stars of the show J.W. Leggio (as Jake) and Lee Schwing (as Elwood) faithfully re-create the “Brothers” characters in true Belushi & Aykroyd style!
BRIEFCASE BLUES has performed for every type of event, party, public concert and social gathering imaginable.

Client Reviews
J. Leggio was wonderful to work with and helped a lot in the promotion of the show. If future shows are this easy and this helpful my job will be much easier. I am new to the position and I had a blast. J. always returned phone calls and answered emails promptly. Both J and Lee (and the band) were very polite and did a fantastic job. Our little town needed this kind of show. It was great! – Darcy
