The statues are of Jake and Elwood Blues, the characters portrayed by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in the late 1970s. The two performed as the Blues Brothers first for the live comedy show with Belushi as lead singer and Aykroyd on harmonica and backup vocals.
The act grew popular and the two performed at concert venues and released an album within a year. The Blue Brothers movie directed by John Landis came out in 1980 as one of a string of films Akroyd and Belushi co-wrote and acted in just a few short years before Belushi's untimely death from drugs in 1982.
An interesting article from the Jamestown Sun has information on the statues. (
