The Class of ’68
The Class of ’68 began in 2002 as a one-night Bob Ross Tribute Band created to celebrate a birthday—and unexpectedly became a long-running Chicago favorite. While the lineup has evolved over the years, the mission has stayed the same: delivering the timeless music and spirit of the late ’60s and early ’70s. Inspired by the look, sound, and energy of a high school dance in 1968, the band blends authentic style, rich harmonies, and classic rock nostalgia into every performance.
Today, The Class of ’68 features a seasoned lineup highlighted by Jay Goeppner, whose world-class John Lennon voice brings a new level of authenticity to the band’s British Invasion material—now a major focus of their setlist.
The British Invasion Show is a high-energy, multimedia journey from The Beatles’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 through the early ’70s. Featuring music that changed the world from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Hollies, The Animals, and more, this nonstop, all-ages show keeps audiences on their feet from start to finish. Presented by The Class of ’68, it’s a powerful celebration of an era that continues to define rock and roll.
Over the years, The Class of ’68 has earned a reputation for their infectious energy, tight musicianship, and dedication to authenticity. From longtime fans to first-time listeners, every performance becomes a shared experience that captures the excitement, fun, and unforgettable sound of the 60s and 70s, making them a favorite at festivals, theaters, and private events alike.
