The most musically-satisfying Beatles tribute band returns to the State Theatre and audiences will have two opportunities to enjoy them. The Fab Faux takes the stage on Saturday March 1st with two of its members providing a "Morning After" performance lecture on Sunday March 2nd.

Show time for the Fab Faux is 8:00 PM. Tickets are $60 and $50 and can be purchased by visiting the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street, Easton, by calling 1-800-999-STATE, 610-252-3132 or online at www.statetheatre.org. Sponsored by Unity Bank and LehighValleyLive.com. There is also a $110 VIP ticket that includes a post-show Meet & Greet with the band.

The Morning After with Rich Pagano & Frank Agnello of the Fab Faux will take place between 10AM and 1PM on Sunday. Tickets are $50 for the general public and $40 for State Theatre Members and both prices include a continental breakfast.

With a commitment to the accurate reproduction of The Beatles' repertoire, The Fab Faux treat their music with unwavering respect, and are known for their painstaking recreations of the songs, with emphasis on the later works never performed live by the Beatles. Far beyond being extended sets of cover versions, their astounding shows are an inspired re-discovery of the Beatles' musical magic, as The Fab Faux tackles the group's most demanding material live onstage in a way that has to be experienced to be believed.

The musical virtuosity of The Fab Faux - in actuality five of the hardest working musicians in NYC - completely up-ends the concept of a Beatles tribute band. Will Lee has spent more than two decades as the bassist for the Late Show with David Letterman. Jimmy Vivino has been a staple throughout Conan O'Brien's late night career, currently serving as Music Director and leader of the Basic Cable Band on Conan. Rich Pagano, Frank Agnello and Jack Petruzzelli are three of the most sought-after and well-respected musicians in the business.

The Morning After is a one of a kind event and a chance for Fab Faux / Beatles fans to spend some quality time with two of the Faux principals, Rich Pagano and Frank Agnello in a rare performance lecture. Rich will spend an hour on "the art of singing and drumming". After a quick break for bagels, Frank Agnello will handle "uncovering Beatles Guitar and Song Brilliance." The guys will also talk about their influences, creative approach, amazing careers (the Fab Faux is their passion...not their "day" job), and take questions in a structured, yet informal setting. There may even be a special guest on drum kit number two!
