The sound. The suits. The sunglasses. The Blues Brothers have firmly cemented their place as pop-culture icons in the annals of entertainment history. But how did a band that debuted as a goofy sketch on Saturday Night Live in 1976 go on to have a hit movie and a number one record in the space of just four short years? Simple. They were “on a mission from God”.

Now, nearly 50 years later, Elwood Blues (aka Dan Aykroyd) is on another mission—to tell the full story of how two young actors went from blues lovers to Blues Brothers. In this fascinating audio documentary Aykroyd “gets the band back together”, taking listeners on a road trip through time—from late nights in the early days with John Belushi at Dan’s speakeasy in Toronto, to working with blues legends Aretha Franklin, James Brown, and Ray Charles on The Blues Brothers movie, through the founding of House of Blues, the Blues Brothers 2000 sequel, and beyond.

Along the way, Aykroyd is joined by band members, friends, filmmakers, and cohorts who witnessed the Blues Brothers’ birth and meteoric rise firsthand, including Jim Belushi, Paul Shaffer, Curtis Salgado, John Landis, Steve Jordan, and more. Also featuring conversations with the late Judy Belushi Pisano, and a previously unheard interview with John Belushi himself.

Thoughtful, entertaining, and endlessly illuminating, Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitude is a joyous celebration of the legendary band that kick-started a blues revival and launched a lasting legacy.

About the Creator and Performer

In 1970 Dan Aykroyd performed on CBC network television as a writer/actor for producer Lorne Michaels in The Great Canadian Humor Test. He moved to Toronto to work for Ivan Reitman (director of Ghostbusters) at City-TV in 1972.
In addition to writing for Saturday Night Live, Dan has nine produced screenplays on which he shares co-writing credits: Love at First Sight, Blues Brothers, Spies Like Us, Dragnet, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, Coneheads, Nothing But Trouble ( Valkenvania), and Blues Brothers 2000.
Aykroyd was awarded an Emmy for his writing on the Saturday Night Live episode starring Sissy Spacek. He is also a Grammy and Oscar nominee. The Grammy nomination was for Best New Artist 1979 for the triple platinum-selling Briefcase Full of Blues record album, which he recorded with his then partner John Belushi. The Oscar nomination was for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the Best Picture of 1989, Driving Miss Daisy. The films with which Aykroyd has had principal associations have grossed close to one billion dollars worldwide.
In 1993 Dan co-ventured as an investor with the co-founder of Hard Rock Cafe International to open U.S. outlets of the famous establishment House of Blues. As Elwood Blues, he hosted the 10-year running House of Blues Radio Hour, which was syndicated on 180 radio stations through the United Stations Radio Networks. House of Blues was sold to Live Nation Entertainment in 2006.
Dan Aykroyd can currently be seen in the Fox Nation series A History of the World in Six Glasses, as well as The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd for The History Channel, which he executive produced. Most recently he appeared in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which he also executive produced.
