On Saturday, fans will get the gospel side of things when a gospel music service will be followed by music from Mondo Cortez & the Chicago Blues Angels and then Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials.
Local gospel groups Will Terry & Sounds of Joy, Chrysann Moore and the Lewis University Gospel Choir will perform after an ecumenical church service. A free open-to-the-public screening of the "Blues Brothers" will conclude the festivities Saturday night.
Said Jim Belushi, "This movie brought great joy. It's great music. It's mischievous and fun."
"And, it's a mission from God to deliver spititual awakening, bringing everyone to the light with joy of the music that was born and bred in gospel."
The Blues Brothers Band headlines Friday night with Dan Aykroyd reprising his role as Elwood Blues and Jim Belushi channeling his late brother John as "Joliet" Jake.
"We're gonna do a full 90-minute Blues Brothers show -- me and Danny kicking it with a 10-piece band, three horns, two guitars, a B-3 organ, three backup singers, harmonica players," Belushi said. "Danny plays harmonies, I play harmonica. ...And the great news is Curtis Salgado is playing before us."
