Fab Faux coming again to the State Theatre

There are Beatles cover bands — and then there’s the Fab Faux.

A group of musicians who painstakingly reproduce and honor the music we all love, the Fab Faux will return to Easton’s State Theatre on June 17.

The celebrated cover band is a favorite of State Theatre audiences. Established in 1998, the Fab Faux are a labor of love created by Will Lee, bassist for Paul Shaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the “Late Show With David Letterman.”

Lee was determined to organize the greatest Beatles band without any props (no period wardrobe, fake accents, wigs) and focus on the intricacies and soul of the music.

Rounding out the line-up are Jimmy Vivino, music director/guitarist for “Conan” and long time music partner of Levon Helm, John Sebastian, Laura Nyro, lead-singing drummer/producer Rich Pagano (Rosanne Cash, Roger Waters, etc.), guitarist, Frank Agnello (Marshall Crenshaw, Phoebe Snow, etc.) and multi-instrumentalist Jack Petruzzelli (Joan Osborne producer, Love And Hate], Patti Smith, etc.).

All five band members contribute vocals making the Faux’s harmonies as resonant as their multi-instrumental chops.

The Faux’s high energy shows have sold out shows at Radio City Music Hall and The Beacon Theater in New York City as well as major dates in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Park City, Utah and Philadelphia. They’ve headlined five of Liverpool’s annual Beatle Festivals, playing before 35,000 Beatle fanatics. They also had the rare opportunity to record an original song at Abbey Road Studios.
