The Blues Brothers featuring Tiya!
Get ready for fun this spring with The Blues Brothers! Featuring vocalist Tiya Adé and led by renowned DC band leader Bobby Felder, these seasoned musicians will have you dancing in the aisles. Tiya!, Jazz@Wesley’s own producer, usually does a solo show each year, but this year she’s bringing along one of her favorite combinations of musicians. Don’t let the term “Blues” fool you . . . this is one of the most high-octane shows you’ll see this season.
The Blues Brothers have played to uproarious crowds many times at Westminster and now they’re bringing their show to Jazz@Wesley. Join us for our liveliest and grooviest show of the year. Don’t miss out!
