Jim Lett
Guitar, Vocals
I have been portraying the quiet Beatle "George" for over
20 years. Currently, and for the past five years, I have been
with the group "Yesterday" a tribute to the Beatles. Appearing
in Legends In Concert, Tropicana Las Vegas, Tropicana Atlantic
City, Lake Tahoe, River Palms Laughlin, Harrahs Reno and many
others in extended runs. Of course touring one nighters across
the United States and Europe.
I also do fill-in work for other tribute bands when available and have played with
many major acts. I have all costumes and am travel friendly and
easy to get along with. I also have light keyboard skills if needed.
I also do fill-ins in the role of "Bill Wyman" currently with Jumping
Jack Flash (the industry standard for Rolling Stones tributes).
I can also offer up an array of standard British Invasion and 60's
era material. I am a founding and current member of the British Invasion
Group formed in 1986.
I am looking to fill dates for the fall of 2011 and beyond. So please contact me
if I can be of service.

I've been playing drums for over 40 years. As a founding member of The British Invasion, here's a little history of the group. In the early 90's, Jim and I came up with an idea to bring back the rock and roll explosion of the 60's, and introduce it to a new generation. We put together something that was more of a show .. instead of just "who's at the club tonight?" sort of thing. We wanted to bring back the classic memories and classic sounds of the British Invasion era, along with the look, feel and excitement. Initially called 'Certain Circle' -we soon changed the name to 'The British Invasion' --
Later that decade, on several occasions, we played as 'Herman's Hermits' for Peter Noone.
I should have told Peter, "don't mess with the drummer while he's trying to keep a beat!" -lol.

In 1999, I started playing the part of 'Ringo Starr' in a Beatle Tribute act, 'Come Together' -which lasted for about 5 years. At first I wasn't too keen on impersonating someone, but after hearing how well it sounded, I realized it's not the novelty of the show that's so important. During that time, I was also hired by one of the top Beatle Acts in the country, '1964' -when their 'Ringo' was unavailable. In 2006, I started going to 'jam sessions' in downtown Oklahoma City, and eventually became the house drummer at a popular blues bar in Bricktown. I did that for several years -until recently, when Jim called and said, "Let's get back in the groove again." ... or something like that. -peace.

Hello Invasion fans. I started playing bass as a teenager,playing in such bands as The L7's,Brain Capers,PFA and Big Bang Theory. I joined The British Invasion in 1989( then called Certain Circle) with founding members Jim Lett and Mark Robins. I've been playing and touring with them for over 20 years now( wow has it been that long LOL). I've always had a love of the music of the 60's so it just seemed to fit when I joined. We have opened for acts such as The Grassroots and The Association to name a few and have worked with Peter Noone as Hermans Hermits on many occasions. Having a good show and making many fans over the years has been a blast and we hope to keep making new ones....

Keyboards, Guitar, Vocals
I began performing professionally at the age of 14 in the band ‘Poverty’s Children’. The band played dances for KOMA radio in the lower Midwest States. While attending Phillips University, I teamed up with grammy-winning guitarist Michael Hedges to form a long time musical collaboration. In Stockholm, Sweden I was ‘discovered’ by a producer for Swedish TV and Radio while playing my guitar on a street corner. I was hired to write songs and perform live every week for ‘The Saturday Show’, a variety show broadcast across Sweden (FM) and around the world on shortwave radio. I remained in Sweden for several years and upon returning to the US, I played a piano bar gig in Vail, Colorado for three years. I formed Briar Rose Records and produced several songs in Nashville, Tennessee. Two videos were made from these recordings and played on national TV for Showtime, Cinemax, HBO and VH1. The single ‘One More Goodbye, One More Hello’ was a Billboard Top 100 hit song. I collaborated once again with Michael Hedges to write songs and produce many recordings at his Northern California studio. After touring with Hedges I toured with the Stillwater, Oklahoma band ‘No Justice’ and recorded a live CD at Billy Bob’s, Fort Worth. I am currently playing keyboards, guitar and singing with The British Invasion Group while continuing to perform solo and write and record songs at my home studio.
