The announcement took place at Belushi’s 3rd annual Harvest Party benefit in honour of local blues musician Johnny Wheels, who uses a wheelchair and needs a customized van to get around.

Between the Harvest Party and a GoFundMe campaign, $54,000 was raised on behalf of Wheels, who performed onstage alongside Aykroyd and Belushi. Belushi toured with Aykroyd under the name Zee Blues after the death of brother John, who died of a drug overdose in 1982.

Aykroyd, who owns the Lakeview Wine Co. in Niagara, Ont., rolled up to the fundraiser in a decommissioned cop car with “City of Fairview Police” emblazoned on the side. The event, which also included a barbecue, bullwhip cracking and tomahawk throwing, was captured on camera and is expected to be a part of Belushi’s new reality show about his cannabis farming experience. Further details of the new program have yet to be released.
