In the spring of 2018, Paul Andrews went on "A Mission" to form his vision and passion for a tribute to The Blues Brothers. As the owner of a classic Bluesmobile and a 4-decade performer himself, it was the natural "next step" he wanted. He found Justin Clark (a multi decade performer from Branson) who just happened to have moved to North Texas. Their first set of shows were called "track shows"...NO BAND just the two guys doing "karaoke style" performances. That quickly evolved into forming a small band, then a larger band then the bookings just kept on coming. The have performed since 2018 over 500+ shows and counting from small venues to large concert and theater shows. As the band grew in it's popularity, they were asked to perform with Dan Aykroyd & James Belushi in October 2018 and in 2022. In the short time the band has been together, they have played all over Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and beyond doing concerts, shows, festivals, car shows, comic cons, corporate events and appearances. The band was built and molded like the original band as a "who's who" in the North Texas - created with the best musicians from various backgrounds. They guarantee to keep your guests dancing in the aisles from the first song to the last, all while keeping the dream and legacy created by the late John Belushi & Dan Aykroyd (now with James Belushi) alive and well.
