The Fab Faux are without a doubt the most musically satisfying Beatles tribute band on the scene today. Boasting the high visibility of TV star/musicians Will Lee from The Late Show with David Letterman and Jimmy Vivino from Late Night with Conan O'Brien; five strong lead vocalists (including Rich Pagano, Frank Agnello, Jack Petruzzelli) and a commitment to the accurate reproduction of The Beatles' repertoire; this is the band to see if you want to know what it might have been like if The Beatles toured behind their later albums (with a healthy portion of the early guitar-based stuff that most tribute bands play.) Imagine hearing complex material like "Strawberry Fields Forever", "I Am the Walrus", and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite", 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 available to achieve a double-tracked effect!
Since their formation in the spring of '98, the Fab Faux have created a buzz among Beatles fans in the New York City area; packing The Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall, Irving Plaza, The Bottom Line, and The China Club with high energy shows; for an audience liberally sprinkled with fellow musicians, celebrities, and fans alike.
Apparently, people have taken notice, as the group was featured in a full-length profile on CNN that was broadcast all over the world on several of that network's programs; and participated in a CD of original material by Beatles tribute bands, recorded in London at Abbey Road Studios! Since August '99, the group has performed multiple times in Liverpool, England, where they play three shows each year for that city's annual Beatle Week festivities, including outdoor concerts for over 35,000 people on the Apple-sponsored Yellow Submarine and Let It Be stages.
So, for Beatles fans (and music fans), the choice is clear: If you want to hear songs recreated that were written, arranged, and performed with a genius and talent sadly missing from today's music scene; if you're too young to remember what all the fuss was about; or if you just want to see one of the best live rock bands performing today, look no further than The Fab Faux....
ABOUT THE QUEST AUTISM FOUNDATION
With proper supports, adults with autism can lead rich and full lives.
Unfortunately, there is a severe shortage of quality programs offering vocational, residential and leisure services. While public funding exists to support such programs, it is extremely limited and difficult to access. The Quest Autism Foundation (QAF) was established to fill this gap by assisting, encouraging and supporting the development of quality projects whose goals include promoting independence of persons with autism and inclusion in the community.
In conjunction with the ARC of Bergen and Passaic Counties, QAF is beginning to fill this gap with it's "Special Quest Recreation Program".
The QAF is a not-for-profit public charity dedicated to offering support to organizations and agencies that provide quality services to adolescents and adults with autism.
Our goal is to assist individuals with autism in leading more independent and productive lives within the community.
KATHY PHILLIPS What makes a performer special? The ability to empathize through a well-turned lyric, the talent for writing an effective hook, a connection with an audience projected from the stage, and a sense of purpose and passion in an artists' music are all qualities possessed by those who are able to make the transition from musician to performer. Kathy has opened for/shared the stage with national acts such as: Hootie & the Blowfish, Styx, Andy Summers (Police), Levon Helm (The Band), Dickey Betts (Allman Brothers), Catie Curtis, Tony Levin Band, John Eddie, Chris Barron (Spin Doctors), Michael Glabicki (Rusted Root), and Jeffrey Gaines. Kathy has also been involved with singing backups for The Matt Angus Thing alongside members of the notorious Harlem Gospel Choir.
