The Fab Faux to Perform in Greenwich!

The Inner-City Foundation for Charity & Education will hold its 28th annual gala on Saturday, November 9th, 2019 at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich. The gala will feature the famous music of The Fab Faux, A Salute to the Timeless Music of the Beatles. The charity’s largest fundraiser of the year, the gala benefits the neediest families and individuals of Fairfield County. For tickets, visit innercityfoundation.org or call 203-416-1363. Of note, this year the Inner-City Foundation offers a lower-priced ticket for those 45 & under ($200).

Calling them, “the greatest Beatles cover band – without the wigs,” Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke wrote, “the Faux invigorate the artistry of even the Beatles’ most intricate studio masterpieces with top chops and Beatlemaniac glee...” Approaching the songs with the intent of playing them live as accurately in musical reading and in spirit as possible, The Faux’s breathtaking performances tend to dispel all concertgoers’ previous notions of a Beatles tribute act. 

"The Fab Faux have the hardest job in the history of R & R and they pull it off damn well. All rock bands want to be like the Beatles; these guys have the nerve to BE the Beatles. Amazingly, they're so good at it you learn new things about the originals.” - Dave Marsh, legendary Rock Critic and Sirius Radio Host.

The Fab Faux are a labor of love that was born in 1998 when Will Lee (who’s played with all 4 Beatles), bassist for Paul Shaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman decided that he was determined to organize the greatest Beatles band without any props 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, Patti Smith, etc.).

The Faux’s high energy shows have generated buzz not only at top NYC venues including sold out shows at Radio City Music Hall and The Beacon Theater in New York City but also at major dates in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Park City, Utah (Sundance), Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and Toronto, among other locales. They’ve headlined five of Liverpool’s annual Beatle Festivals, playing before 35,000 Beatle fanatics and also delighted the masses performing live on the Howard Stern Show and The Mark And Brian Show. TV appearances include Late Show with David Letterman and Conan.
