Blooze Brothers Come to Raue Center For The Arts Image

Kick off 2019 with the Midwest's #1 Blues Brothers tribute! Raue Center For The Arts is excited to welcome Blooze Brothers to the stage at 8 p.m. on January 5, 2019. This musical experience can't be beat!

"We are very excited to welcome the Blooze Brothers to the stage at Raue Center," says Executive Director, Richard Kuranda. "Their passion for the music, film and soulful sound of 'Joliet' Jake and Elwood Blues will bring down the house. This should be one of the best parties this winter!"

For over a quarter of a century (yes, really), the Blooze Brothers has been one of Chicagoland's most in-demand show bands. Blooze Brothers not only honors the music made by the original Blues Brothers in movies, TV and recordings, but the spirit in which they played - from Dan Aykroyd's love of traditional blues and soul to John Belushi's love of classic rock. Like Aykroyd and Belushi, the Blooze Brothers fuse those great musical traditions into a stage show that energizes and delights hundreds of thousands of music fans across the greater Chicago area and beyond every year.

Blooze Brothers has played for major corporations like Microsoft and Kraft, major venues like Soldier Field and the House of Blues, plus hundreds of festivals, theaters, weddings, backyard barbecues and everything in between. The band was also honored to represent the state of Illinois and perform at a presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C.

With the combination of two high-energy frontmen, a dynamic female lead singer, some of Chicago's top musicians and a 1974 Dodge Monaco Bloozemobile replica, the Blooze Brothers provide a musical experience that can't be beat!

Tickets start at $20 and may be purchased online at rauecenter.org or via the Box Office at 815.356.9212 or 26 N. Williams Street in downtown Crystal Lake.
