THE MUSIC

Instant Karma takes you on a Magical Mystery Tour through the life and music of John Lennon.

The band covers his whole career from his "Teddy Boy" roots and 1950's Rock and Roll influences, to his signature Beatles era, all the way up through his solo career...from The Plastic Ono Band to his Double Fantasy/Milk and Honey Albums.

At an  Instant Karma show you will hear songs like "Starting Over", "Imagine", "Mind Games", "#9 Dream", "Jealous Guy".  You will hear the John Lennon hits and the obscure songs such as "Isolation", "God", "Mother" and "Out of the Blue", to name a few.  Of course, at an  Instant Karma show you are guaranteed to hear the John Lennon/Beatles hits like "In My Life", Strawberry Fields Forever", "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", "Help", "I Am The Walrus", "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", and many more.  

The songs are played with lots of love and affection and with great respect to our Musical Hero.  Instant Karma is a true tribute to the life and music of a true Musical Genius.

INSTANT KARMA is led by Jay Goeppner, who has been singing as John Lennon for over 25 years. He is an energetic, award-winning sound-alike who has a passion for the music of John Lennon that shines through in every performance. When you hear him sing, you get a sense that John Lennon is in the room with you. This is a reflection of the love and passion he has for John and his music.

 You may have heard him on the Jonathan Brandmeier Radio Show, the Steve Dahl and Garry Meier show, Kevin Matthews and Breakfast With The Beatles.  Or you may have seen him on television programs such as the WGN News, FOX Television News, NBC Channel 5 News, The Norman Mark Show on NBC and several cable shows.

As a solo entertainer and, for 15 years, as "The Beatle Brothers", Jay also has performed far and wide...at the opening ceremonies at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio in 1995 and 1997, and has sung in such places as Rome, Africa and Munich, Germany.  Last year, Jay traveled to Liverpool, England to perform at The International Beatle Week Festival, and from the first time he stepped up to the microphone at The Cavern to sing "Jealous Guy" with Hal Bruce, he became one of the festival's favorite singers...capturing the spirit and power of John Lennon!

Although Instant Karma is not an "Impersonation" Band, Jay does treat the crowd during the show for one song dressed in the John Lennon-Style Army Jacket, Hat and Shades.

The Instant Karma band is composed of six hard working and talented musicians who share Jay's passion and love for John Lennon and his music.  

They are:  

  • Jay Goeppner, Lead Vocals, Guitar, Percussion
  • Bob Blider - Guitar, Vocals
  • Mark Eskin - Guitar, Vocals
  • Jimmy Dunn - Drums, Vocals
  • Gabriel Sanchez - Keyboards
  • Alex Evans - Bass, Vocals

COME ON, and get with the Karma and share in the love of Instant Karma...It's Gonna Get You!
