CHRIS HINDLE is JOLIET JAKE BLUES

Chris Hindle is the driving force behind 'The Chicago Blues Brothers', not only does he play Jake in the show he also is responsible for the production of the show. From stage set to art work, social Media to arrangements - Chris is right there at the heart of everything.

Chris also trained at the De Costa academy in York studying the art of Italian Opera. A natural tenor and performer, he was able to hit those high notes with ease but his musical passion laid elsewhere. In Joliet Jake Blues he has truly found his calling.

GARETH DAVEY is ELWOOD BLUES

Award winning vocalist Gareth 'Elwood' Davey was a well established solo artist for several years touring throughout the UK but he decided to leave his solo career behind him and join 'The Chicago Blues Brothers'. He amazes audiences with his natural vocal ability; from deep bluesy bass vocals to sweet soulful falsetto, Gareth has a vocal range that very few pro singers can compare to.

Chris and Gareth have been best friends for over 16 years and this shines through on stage. They are both professional wind up artists and enjoy playing tricks on everyone in the band and members of the public. Their off stage friendship is one of the magical aspects that makes the Chicago Blues Brothers such a fun and unique show to watch, and be a part of for one night.
