Last night’s experience at The State Theater was amazing to say the least!
This was my first time seeing a Beatles Cover Band and I could close my eyes as if I was at a Live Concert!
2023 Marks their 25th Year on Tour!
A little background on the Fab Faux:
The Fab Faux is a musical tribute band performing the works of the Beatles. The group was founded by Will Lee, Bassist for Late Show with David Letterman, and features Jimmy Vivino, Bandleader for Conan. Other members include Rich Pagano, Frank Agnello, and Jack Petruzzelli.
They have been traveling all over with several shows right here in the Lehigh Valley over the last 10 years.
Fab Faux opened with “I Know Your Name”, followed by a classic: “Ticket to Ride” to a nearly Sold-Out Theater!
Will Lee was very animated on stage, cool to see multiple bass guitars being used during this performance!
They recently did an event in Catskills NY and some folks that attended were here tonight. They are planning on doing it again next year, follow Fab Faux on all social media platforms for more details.
The Crème Tangerine Strings joined in for “Hello Goodbye” and a few others as the evening went on.
Hogshead Horns filtered in with “Ob-La-Di.” Everyone was tapping along, what a Fun Song!
The audience was singing to nearly every tune. Plus, it was nice to see the staff enjoying the music on the side aisles, moving and grooving.
Hit after Hit, the Fab Faux just kept on going…..Next up, “I Saw Her Standing There!” Once again, I could hear fans belting out verses all around me!
“Martha My Dear” played about 3/4 into the set. This was a song about Paul McCartneys Sheepdog.
Drummer Rich Pagano led the vocals with “Across the Universe.” Fantastic voice!
Followed by “Good Day Sunshine” played on this 3rd Day of Summer!
Jim Vivino played the Sitar, which was used for the song by George Harrison: “Within You/Without You” off of the Sgt. Pepper Album.
Standing Ovation: “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
Encore Songs:
“All You Need Is Love” ❤️
Final Notes: The Beatles Songs Will Always Be Timeless Classics! Next time Fab Faux is in town, I will attend! It was a great evening for all ages!
