Wayne Catania and Kieron Lafferty a.k.a. Jake & Elwood are the most dynamic and authentic Blues Brothers show to ever hit the stage. The duo got their start in the award winning Las Vegas show "Legends in Concert” performing in showrooms and theatres from coast to coast. A chance meeting with film maker Paul Jay led to the acclaimed A&E docudrama "Lost in Las Vegas": The story of two performers trying to survive and raise families in a city whose only value is making money.
The A&E film caught the attention of Victor Pisano and Judy Belushi Pisano who asked them to audition for the stage musical The Official Blues BrothersRevival. “We learned that day how hard it is to do what John and Dan did,” says Judy Belushi Pisano, “…some looked the part but nobody had the whole package until Kieron and Wayne arrived." The OBBR ran successfully in Chicago in the spring and summer of 2004.
From that show was born The Official Blues Brothers Revue. This live concert show combines the comedy and the hits from the original movie and pays homage to Chicago’s rich history of blues, gospel and soul music. Performed with the passion and precision that is the trademark of the original Blues Brothers Band.
Jake, Elwood & The Band hit the right balance of humor, music and mayhem that has captivated audience’s nation wide. Upbeat, and uplifting The Official Blues Brothers Revue is fun for all ages.
