Spotlight: Billing themselves as newly discovered siblings of the Blues Brothers, nine performers will share all the best songs performed by Jake and Elwood Blues and their friends.

Crossings brings "A Briefcase Full of Blues Brothers" tribute show to the Zumbrota State Theatre 7:30 p.m. Saturday Feb. 23.

"Jake and Elwood Blues restarted the rhythm and blues revolution 35 years ago," said Grant F. Haake, who has performed in Zumbrota as part of tribute bands the Revolution 5 and Trembling Wilburys.

The concert features music from the movies, but also from Blues Brothers performances and albums.

Haake assumes the persona of Greg Blues, and Jeff Lee (The Receders, Nelson Lee, Trembling Wilburys), of Leroy Blues.

Joining them are Muggsy Lauer and Leon Laudenbach on guitars, Andy Deckard on drums, Ellis Haake on bass, George Maurer on keys, and a horn section consisting of Ken Vork, Keith Haake, and Mike Anderson, and some special guests.

Tickets are $28 in advance, $32 day of show. To reserve tickets, stop in to Crossings at Carnegie at 320 East Avenue in Zumbrota or call 507-732-7616. For more information, visit www.crossingsatcarnegie.com.
