Come see “The Fab Faux”- Oct. 20
“The Fab Faux” has been called the “World’s Greatest Beatles Tribute Band” and is known for their note perfect renditions of Beatles favorites, specializing in playing songs that even the Beatles never performed live.
The All-Star band features Will Lee, longtime bassist for the David Letterman Show and Jimmy Vivino, musical director and guitarist for the Conan O’Brien Show. The musical virtuosity of “The Fab Faux” is legendary and completely up-ends the concept of a Beatles tribute band. Far beyond being extended sets of cover versions, their astounding shows are an inspired rediscovery 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.
All CI students, faculty, staff, friends and family have been offered a special $35 cash discounted ticket. The concert will take place on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 8 p.m. at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. Last year, 86 CI students, faculty, staff, friends and family attended “The Fab Faux” once-a-year Southern California appearance.
