Blues Brothers were a serious blues and soul duo comprised of two comedians...John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. The group started as a comedy sketch on Saturday Night Live...but then the group was taken seriously...recordings, a movie, live appearances...and even as the music (not comedy) performers for Saturday Night Live.

This sculpture depicts the duo performing their act while the nearby work shows the musicians sitting. The two works are on either side of a House of Blues kiosk in the airport.
