The Invaders is a rock band that performs classic music of the “British Invasion” and the artists who inspired them. Hits from the 60’s make up the majority of the band’s repertoire. Not to be out shadowed, tunes from the late-50’s also creep into the set list. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Elvis, The Who, The Kinks, The Beach Boys, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Monkees are just a few of the artists covered by the band. Members Jim Brown (vocals, lead guitar and keys), Mark Gruenenfelder (vocals, bass), John Orth (vocals, rhythm and lead guitar), and John Remy (drums, vocals) have all played in local and area bands for many years prior to forming in the winter of 2005. The band uses period gear wherever possible: it helps nail that 60’s “Pop Combo” sound! With incredibly strong lead vocals, amazing harmonies, exceptional guitar work, and a driving rhythm section, The Invaders will have you out dancing and having a great time, while “Bringing back songs of the 60’s Beat Invasion.”

While The Invaders was initially organized because the members believed that they looked good holding instruments, this simple approach proved problematic when it came to securing bookings.  After much deliberation, the members decided to institute a policy of playing the instruments and singing.  Much to their surprise, they were able to develop a remarkable talent for faithfully recreating the finest music of the British Invasion and roots Rock 'n' Roll.  Below is a list of songs you're likely to hear when you come to an Invaders show.  The Invaders' attorneys have advised them to notify you that this list is subject to change without notice.  However, against the advice of legal counsel, The Invaders assume full responsibility for the masterful performances you will hear of the following songs:
