For John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, Jake and Elwood Blues began as characters in a musical sketch on “Saturday Night Live” in 1978. The movie that spun off in 1980 became a cult classic.
In 1994, while students at Heritage High School in Maryville, Tenn., Josh Livingston and Jarrod Millsaps adapted The Blues Brothers’ personas for much the same reason: a quest to get attention and laughs.
The first outing for Livingston and Millsaps was a talent show. That performance “went over brilliantly,” according to their website, giving the two an instant outlet for their musical and comedic talents.
Saturday, they’ll bring their Blues Brothers Tribute Show to the Northwest Georgia Bank Amphitheatre in Ringgold, Ga., in a benefit concert for Chattanooga Market.
