Beatles Tribute Band The Fab Faux Returns to the State Theatre Tonight
by BWW News Desk - Mar 14, 2015

Imagine hearing complex material like 'Strawberry Fields Forever' or 'I Am the Walrus' performed in complete part-perfect renditions; or 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.
