I'm just wondering when the last time the band played together? Was it late 2005 (soome sort of 25th anniversary event)?

Also, who are they currently represented by?

Thanks!

Right now their are two bands around.

The first one is Dan Aykroyd (as Elwood Blues) with Jim Belushi (as Brother Zee Blues) with the Sacred Hearts Band. They only play in the USA and in Canada. Their last gig was 26th August, 2006 at the Soaring Eagle Casino, Mt Pleasant MI


The other band is the Blues Brothers Band. They play mostly in europ and asia. Their last gig was 18th September, 2006 in Istanbul, Turkey.
The actual members only got 3 original members left: Steve Cropper, Blue Lou Marini and Alan Rubin plus Soullegend Eddie "Knock on Wood" Floyd.

Here is a pic of the actual band.

I´m not sure about Eddie Floyd; he didn´t play on the Madrid (Spain) gig of 2006; he was replaced by Jerry Fish. Also, in their management/info page (tedkurland) the pic of the band had Paparozzi and Fish with the suits,shades and hats.

There is a video of the Madrid gig:

I think Duck has retired, as far as I know he only does the MGs nowadays. I think he might also do some recording work.
