Aretha Franklin joins the Blues Brothers world in The Fabulous Blues Brothers' tribute, giving your wedding a show with several vocal characters. Brad Kendrick appears as Joliet Jake and Tristan James as Elwood Blues, with Asabi Goodman performing as Aretha. The revue moves through blues riffs and gospel influenced passages, with Soul Man and Rawhide among the songs. Respect and Think bring Aretha's music into that selection, so you can explore both sides of the tribute when planning a reception feature. For fans who want the performance to take centre stage for part of the evening, this feels like a wedding choice with a clear musical identity.

Good to know
What to expect
Brad Kendrick plays Joliet Jake and Tristan James takes Elwood, with Asabi Goodman bringing Aretha Franklin into the room. The set runs Shake a Tail Feather, Soul Man, Gimme Some Lovin', Jailhouse Rock and Rawhide, through Sweet Home Chicago and Minnie the Moocher, then hands the stage over for Respect, Think and Natural Woman. Gospel breakdowns, hard blues riffs, and very little dead air between them. It's played as a stage show with the costumes and the presence that go with it, not a covers set with hats on.
On the day
The production is built to scale, from small clubs up through theatres and festivals, so the stage and technical setup gets matched to your venue rather than fixed in advance. Send them your venue's details ahead of time and they'll work through the staging and sound with the room's own people. That conversation is worth having early, because what a festival stage needs and what a club corner needs are different jobs.
