They have performed and recorded with musicians like Eric Clapton, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and Ray Charles. The band's true artistic flair comes out in live performances. That is why The Original Blues Brothers Band devotes itself mainly to live performances, performing on the most famous stages in the world

The Original Blues Brothers Band has a peculiar debut compared to most known bands but certainly among the most interesting. In 1978 Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi go on Saturday Night Live! as the Blues Brothers and, thanks to the enormous success of the sketch, turn the comic interlude into a full-fledged musical project that will be responsible for introducing entire generations to the soul and blues genres.

The band's line-up is carefully chosen by Aykroyd and Belushi to accompany the founding duo in the 1980 cult film, The Blues Brothers, directed by John Landis. Lou "Blue Lou" Marini (saxophone)and Tom Malone (saxophone and trombone) Steve Cropper (guitar) and Donald "Duck" Dunn (drums) and Matt "Guitar" Murphy (guitar) then arrive. Between 1978 and 1980 they recorded and released two live albums, Briefcase Full of Blues (1978) and Made in America (1980), which was followed by 1981's The Best of the Blues Brothers, consolidating their enormous success in only three years.

The untimely departure of John Belushi in 1982 marked the beginning of a period of discontinuation of musical production by the group. The hiatus further increased the legendary halo of celebrity surrounding the band, and in 1988 Cropper, Dunn, Murphy, and the other members reformed the band and embarked on a highly successful world tour.

In 1992 The Original Blues Brothers Band released Red White and Blues, a musical project with R&B sounds characteristic of the iconic group, which also featured Aykroyd (credited under the alias "Elwood Blues") on the song "Red, White & Blues."

In 1995, at John Belushi's 46th birthday memorial event, The Original Blues Brothers Band meets singer-songwriter and Italian blues icon Zucchero Fornaciari. The meeting gives rise to a collaboration including a concert, featuring the famous band and the Italian icon on stage, and the participation of the "blues brothers" in the video clip of "Whose fault?"

The band's true artistic flair comes out in live performances. That is why The Original Blues Brothers Band devotes itself mainly to live performances, performing on the most famous stages in the world: we remember the performance at the Olympia Theater in Paris from which the seats were removed to allow the audience to dance freely.
