The Fabulous Blues Brothers & Aretha is a high-energy tribute celebrating the legendary music and larger-than-life characters of Jake and Elwood Blues, alongside the timeless soul of Aretha Franklin. Inspired by the iconic film and Saturday Night Live origins, this show blends musical authenticity, comedy, and raw energy into one unforgettable live experience.
Brad Kendrick stars as Jake Blues, bringing more than 20 years of international experience performing Blues Brothers shows across cruise lines and at Universal Studios Japan. His powerful vocals and commanding stage presence perfectly capture Jake’s grit and humour. Alongside him, Tristan James embodies Elwood Blues with cool charm, sharp timing, and infectious energy. Adding a whole new dimension to the show is American-born vocalist Asabi Goodman as Aretha Franklin. With major musical theatre credits including CHICAGO and Hairspray! The Musical, Asabi delivers Aretha’s iconic hits with vocal fire, gospel spirit, and heartfelt authenticity.
