In the late 70s, blues fans Dan Akroyd, pal John Belushi and scores of others, converged on Toronto, Canada blues capitol. And here Akroyd and Belushi were inspired to create “The Blues Brothers” as a skit on the popuar TV show Saturday Night Live, then as the subject of a hit movie. Local icons The Downchild Blues Band, led by slim Don Walsh and chubby brother Rick aka “Hock”, are seen by most observers as their inspiration.

Chris and Geoff Dahl from London, Ontario, have been bluesmen since they were young teenagers. They both sing well and between them they play a dozen musical instruments.In 1994, they donned the iconic black suits and pork pie hats for the first time for a blues festival. Their natural humour and physical appearance, combined with their singing and crazy stage antics were an immediate hit. They have never looked back.

The Soul Brothers travel the world, performing everywhere from military bases in the frozen north, to tents in the scorching Arabian desert. Their popularity is underscored by the fact that they often perform in non English speaking countries. Everyone loves their black suits, their music and dance moves, even if they don't understand the words.

The Soul Brothers material includes songs from The Blues Brothers movie, R'n'B and rock'n'roll hits from the 50s and 60s and other exciting, wall shaking music. The Dahl brothers have managed to stretch the movie's concert into a fun filled 90-minute show. Chris' inspired vocals, Geoff's hot harmonica playing and the duo's comical dance moves make for exciting, high camp entertainment.
