The last band I was in was a three-piece group with acoustic guitar, violin, and double bass. We met at Chicago's Old Town School and played Americana, a mix of Blues, Folk, Rock' n' Roll, and old-timey music. The bluegrass folks used to call our stuff Jazzgrass.
We split when the frontman’s fiancé decided he was spending too much time with the band. Ironically, they met because of the band.
Yeah, The Blues Brothers was a fun movie. L'Osservatore Romano, the official Vatican newspaper, called The Blues Brothers a "Catholic classic" on the film's 30th anniversary in 2010. The article cited the themes of repentance, faith, sacrifice, and redemption. Some folks felt that the Church's enthusiasm for recognizing spiritual messages in pop culture was a good step. Others were not so enthusiastic about it.
I enjoyed the group. That Andalusian chord progression in the first video (i-♭VII-♭VI-V) is also used in Resucito, one of my favorite Easter songs. I posted about it recently in this thread.

Lady: Are you the police?
Elwood Blues: No, ma'am, we're musicians ... We're on a mission from God.
