BEATLES COVER BAND: The Fab Faux sing songs from two Beatles’ classic albums at State Theatre New Jersey on May 31.

State Theatre New Jersey presents The Fab Faux on Saturday, May 31 at 8 p.m. The band performs A Hard Day’s Night and Abbey Road in their entireties. Joining The Fab Faux are The Hogshead Horns (with Blues Brothers, Blood, Sweat & Tears and SNL band alums) and The Creme Tangerine Strings..

With a commitment to an accurate reproduction of The Beatles’ repertoire, The Fab Faux treat the seminal music with respect, and are known for their painstaking recreations of the songs. Far beyond a cover band, they play songs like “Strawberry Fields Forever” or “I Am the Walrus” in complete part-perfect renditions; and such harmony-driven songs as “Because,” “Nowhere Man,” and “Paperback Writer,” reproduced not only note-for-note, but with extra vocalists to achieve a double-tracked effect.

The Fab Faux was born in 1998 when Will Lee (who’s played with all four 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 like wardrobe, fake accents, and 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 longtime music partner of Levon Helm, John Sebastian, and Laura Nyro; lead-singing drummer/producer Rich Pagano (Rosanne Cash, Roger Waters); guitarist, Frank Agnello (Marshall Crenshaw, Phoebe Snow); and multi-instrumentalist, Jack Petruzzelli (Joan Osborne [producer, Love And Hate], Patti Smith). All five principals contribute vocals.

The State Theatre is at 15 Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick. Visit stnj.org for tickets, which range from $73.26-$118.86.
