Here's a message Jay left on the Guestbook:

Welcome, everyone to the Instant Karma Website. 

I'd like to personally tell you how much we really appreciate your interest in the band. We thank you for all your support. It is always a great joy to me to see and meet all of you great Beatle and John Lennon fans at our shows. For my deep admiration and love for John Lennon and his music, I would like invite you all to share in the good Karma which the Beatles and John Lennon brought into our lives. 

This website is for all of us, so please feel free to browse, look, listen…and share your thoughts, love, and suggestions on what we, as The Instant Karma Band, can do to always make your experience a great one! 

Peace & Love to all. 

Love, Jay

About the Beatle Brothers

A letter from Jay...January 2004

The Beatle Brothers

Jay Goeppner and Phil Angotti 
at the conclusion of 
the Beatle Brothers last show.  
Kevil's, September 6, 2003.

On behalf of The Beatle Brothers and the Instant Karma Band, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and the Best for 2004.

I had a lot of great memories in 2003, along with some sad ones.  It was the end of an era with the breakup of The Beatle Brothers.  But George Harrison put it best with his song "All Things Must Pass".  

I wish my fellow Beatle Brothers all my love and best wishes for the New Year, and would like to thank them for a great ride that lasted 17 years!

 

Instant Karma

 

On the positive side of 2003 was the formation of a great new band: "Instant Karma - A Tribute to the Musical Genius of John Lennon".

In Instant Karma, we've really put together some great guys who love John Lennon and The Beatles just as much as I do, and so far we've been having a great time!

 

Instant Karma is:

  • Jay Goeppner, lead vocals.

  • Bob Blider, former "American English" star, on guitar and vocals.

  • Jimmy Dunn, from "Twist and Shout" on drums.

  • Bob Dobro, from "Twist and Shout" on keyboards

  • Alex Evans, one of the finest bass players in town.

  • Mark Eskin, from "New Colony Six" on lead and rhythm guitar and vocals.

Thank you, WGN

My personal highlight of 2003 was appearing on the WGN TV Morning News on December 8, 2003 with the Instant Karma Band singing "Happy Christmas (War is Over)" with my daughter Amanda, her friend Melissa Regan and Colleen and Keith Dunn on backup vocals.  It's something I'll remember all my life.  Thanks, Amanda, Melissa, Colleen and Keith.  You were great!!

We'll see you in the New Year.  Stay tuned for February and March gigs to be posted soon.

Thank you, and Love and Peace Forever,
