They are the songs sung along to the radio: "wild thing, I think I love you," "I can't get no...satisfaction," "I want to hold your ha-aaand, I want to hold your hand." They are the songs that inspired dreams: "wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'...plannin' and dreamin' each night of his charms," "it's the time of the season for lov-ing." They are the songs that turned the worlds of music, fashion, and art upside down and are just as fresh and vibrant six decades later. The British Invasion - Live On Stage today announced its cast of musicians and singers who will jam live to the iconic British pop sound that swept across the world.
The 50-plus city tour launches February 12 with stops in Atlanta, Charlotte, San Diego, Dallas, Austin, and Tampa. Tickets and tour dates are available at www.TheBritishInvasionLive.com.

"We've pulled together an amazing cast of musicians who cut their teeth on The Beatles, Dusty Springfield, and The Rolling Stones," said Ralph Schmidtke, producer at Quatro Entertainment. "The music from the British Invasion knows no generational boundaries. Everyone from two to 92 knows these songs, has memories associated with them, and invariably they want to sing along with to them with our talented musicians."
