The Fab Faux Perform a Glorious Hodgepodge of Beatles Music
State Theatre New Jersey
"The Fab Faux have the hardest job in the history of rock and roll, and they pull it off brilliantly. All rock bands aspire to be like The Beatles; these guys have the audacity to be The Beatles. Remarkably, they're so good that you end up discovering new things about the originals." — Dave Marsh, Legendary Rock Critic and Sirius Radio Host
Get ready for an unforgettable evening with The Fab Faux, the ultimate tribute to The Beatles, as they take the stage with the incredible Hogshead Horns (featuring alumni from The Blues Brothers, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and SNL Band) and the lush Creme Tangerine Strings. Together, they’ll perform a remarkable mix of Beatles classics in a live show that will leave you in awe!
A Reverence for The Beatles’ Legacy
The Fab Faux aren’t just any tribute band—they’re a musical experience that honors The Beatles’ legendary catalog with meticulous precision. Known for their commitment to reproducing The Beatles' songs as authentically as possible, they focus particularly on the later, more complex material that was never performed live by the original band. These are the tracks that push the boundaries of rock music—songs like Strawberry Fields Forever, I Am the Walrus, and Because—delivered with such perfection that you have to hear it to believe it.
Rather than relying on wigs, costumes, or fake accents, The Fab Faux strips away the theatrics and presents the music with respect, skill, and reverence. Imagine hearing multi-layered vocal harmonies like those in Nowhere Man or Paperback Writer, performed note-for-note with an added depth of vocal harmonies that recreate the iconic double-tracked effects that The Beatles used in the studio.
Musicianship Like No Other
With an extraordinary lineup of some of New York City’s hardest-working musicians, The Fab Faux has redefined the concept of a Beatles tribute band. Comprised of Will Lee (bass, known for his work with all four Beatles and as a long-time member of Paul Shaffer’s CBS Orchestra), Jimmy Vivino (music director and guitarist for Conan O’Brien), Rich Pagano (drums and vocals, also a producer for Rosanne Cash and Roger Waters), Frank Agnello (guitar, known for his work with Marshall Crenshaw and Phoebe Snow), and Jack Petruzzelli (multi-instrumentalist, producer for Joan Osborne), The Fab Faux brings the magic of The Beatles to life with musical virtuosity.
Each member of the band contributes vocals, ensuring that The Faux’s harmonies soar, capturing the original Beatles sound with remarkable accuracy. And when they bring in the Hogshead Horns and Creme Tangerine Strings for select performances, the result is an even more epic sound that elevates their live shows to another level.
The Faux Experience: Live and Unmatched
The Fab Faux’s live performances have earned them a dedicated following and serious buzz. From packed houses at New York City’s iconic Radio City Music Hall and The Beacon Theater, to major performances in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and beyond, their high-energy shows never fail to impress. The band has even headlined at Liverpool’s annual Beatle Festivals, playing to a crowd of 35,000 Beatles fans.
Their concerts aren’t just performances—they’re full-fledged celebrations of The Beatles' music, bringing new life and vibrancy to songs that have already made an indelible mark on the history of rock. As Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke put it, “The Faux invigorate the artistry of even the Beatles' most intricate studio masterpieces with top chops and Beatlemaniac glee.”
The Fab Faux: A Tribute Without Equal
Don’t miss the chance to see The Fab Faux live in concert with The Hogshead Horns and The Creme Tangerine Strings as they perform a breathtaking mix of Beatles music. If you think you know The Beatles, think again—The Fab Faux’s flawless renditions will show you just how much more there is to discover in the music of the Fab Four.
