The Bluzmen Replaces The Official Blues Brothers Revue At Lied

The Lied Center for Performing Arts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has announced that the "The Bluzmen," starring Eric Martin and Carmen Romano, will replace "The Official Blues Brothers Revue" as its 7:30 p.m. Feb. 4 show.

"The Bluzmen" is a Blues Brothers tribute show, similar in quality and content to the previously announced "Revue." One difference is that the Otis Day will not perform with The Bluzmen.

Martin and Romano have been performing together as "The Blues Brothers" for 18 years in more than 9,000 shows worldwide. Their act has been seen across the United States, entertaining New York City, Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Reno and Miami, and internationally in Russia and Japan. Their numerous TV appearances include the "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "The Today Show" and "CBS This Morning." More information can be found at www.bluzmen.com.

Tickets for "The Official Blues Brothers Revue" will be honored for the "The Bluzmen" show. Ticketholders may also exchange their tickets for another Lied season performance at no charge, request a refund, or donate their tickets back to the Lied Center as a tax-deductible contribution.
