(Vocals/Bass) - To say that Grammy Award-winning Will Lee has done it all in the music business would be quite an understatement. Perhaps best known as bassist for over two decades on The Late Show with David Letterman, Will has also lent his considerable talents to well over 1,000 Pop, Jazz and Rock albums (Ricky Martin, Burt Bacharach, Bee Gees, George Benson, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Luther Vandross, Mick Jagger, Cyndi Lauper, Barry Manilow, Miami Sound Machine, Buddy Rich, Bette Midler, Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross, Grover Washington Jr., Cat Stevens, Vanessa Williams, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Kool & the Gang, Billy Joel, Barbara Streisand, Carly Simon, D'Angelo, Frank Sinatra, Mariah Carey, Pat Metheny, and Steely Dan, to name a very few); has sung and played on an equal number of TV and radio commercials; and performed live with countless artists, including three Beatles! Founding and leading The Fab Faux reflects Will's lifelong love and respect for The Beatles' music; he says it best when he says, "They gave us all a wake up call."

(Vocals/Guitars/Keyboards) - Jimmy also sports a high musical profile as guitarist/arranger for the Max Weinberg Seven on Late Night with Conan O'Brien; and leads that group when Max tours with Bruce Springsteen. Jimmy's credits include playing and writing for many diverse projects, including Al Kooper's ReKooperators, Levon Helm, Phoebe Snow, and the most recent Odetta release. Jimmy is also well established in the Blues community, having produced the recent Johnny Johnson, Hubert Sumlin, Son Seals, and Shemekia Copeland releases; as well as arranging horns and strings for the last two Cissy Houston gospel albums.

(Vocals/Guitars) - An accomplished songwriter, Frank has produced several projects from his home studio in addition to his own music, including developing artists and TV commercials. He toured as guitarist for a European production of the musical Hair; performed in the Self-Righteous Brothers with Jimmy V. and Al Kooper; and appeared in the The Beat Goes On series, as both a featured performer and band member - supporting such artists as Marshall Crenshaw, Mike Viola, Phoebe Snow, Willie Nile, Jill Sobule, Richard Lloyd, Ivan Julian, and Jackie DeShannon.
(Vocals/Keyboards/Guitars) - Another extremely busy musician, Jack is a member of the Joan Osborne band, in which he plays lead guitar and keyboards; and his performances and songwriting are featured on her Righteous Love CD. Jack also works with Duncan Sheik; has worked with Rich Robinson, Vanessa Paradis, and Curt Smith; and is currently on tour with Rufus Wainwright. It's Jack and Jimmy's multi-instrumental chops which enable the Fab Faux to reproduce the original Beatles arrangements so accurately.
(Vocals/Drums) - As co-founder of The Fab Faux, Rich is one of the busiest musicians in NY. He's kept equally busy running his production studio - New Calcutta Recordings NYC, and developing new talent. His co-production and performing on the latest Willie Nile release, "Beautiful Wreck of the World", earned him Top 10 Album of the Year honors in both Billboard Magazine and The Village Voice. He is probably best known for the group Marry Me Jane, and has also recorded or performed with Patti Smith, Robbie Robertson, Rosanne Cash, Ray Davies, Freedy Johnston, Joan Osborne, and Mott the Hoople legend Ian Hunter. Rich quickly realized the overflowing musical talents within the band, and is currently producing an album of original music from The Fab Faux to be released in the future.
