They have appeared on NBC, WGN, Fox, and ESPN. British Export features vintage suits and instruments reminiscent of the Beatles performances of the 60’s including an exciting Sgt. Pepper set. All songs are performed duplicating the sound of the original recordings of The Fab 4. Help us celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the British Invasion!

Jimy Rogers and THE MAUDS
: http://www.themauds.com are BACK ! ... Yes, the legendary Midwest R&B / SOUL Group has re-united under the leadership of founder, JIMY ROGERS. Mauds music? It's timeless, soulful and exciting. Baby-Boomers may remember their hits "HOLD ON" or "SOUL DRIPPIN' " from the late 1960's. These are still on the band's playlist. However the Mauds are no nostalgia act. The timeless resurgent R&B sound has assured the eight piece band an even younger and bigger market for the new millennium.
