Few movies about music have had such a drop-weighted cultural impact (exceptions made for
Spinal Tap and
The Commitments), and certainly few movies spun off from a
Saturday Night Live sketch have been as successful as
The Blues Brothers. Live it again, folks: the blazing Aretha scene, the good-time Cab Calloway scene, James Brown as the reverend and more when
Amato and Vinson, billed as the “best Blues Brothers tribute today,” ring out the old year. There’ll be appetizers, Champagne and a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on when the fedoras are donned on Friday, Dec. 31, at Silo’s. 530 Main St., Napa. 6pm show $30; 10pm show $75. 707.251.5833.
