They’re on a “mission from God” to save the orphanage they were raised in, putting the band back together with some shenanigans along the way. It’s dark, they’re wearing sunglasses, and they’re running from the law—“Joliet” Jake and Elwood Blues will bring down whatever house they’re in with epic guests at every stop
Jessie and the Rippers

Hello, Uncle Jessie... really, need we say more? Jessie and the Rippers was Uncle Jessie’s first band on Full House and is known for providing the S.F. club scene with ample covers of Beach Boys and Elvis Presley covers. Jessie eventually gets booted from the band because he’s more committed to the family life, but we will always have “Forever.”
