The Fab Five

About Me

The Fab Five is among the elite Beatles/British Invasion tribute bands in the world. Really. No...we're serious. Stop laughing. We can see you right now. STOP!! Once you see & hear us live (below), your jaw will drop, and you'll say "WOW". Actually, AFTER your jaw goes back into it's normal position, THEN you will say "WOW"!We are an OFFICIAL backing band for British rock legends - JOEY MOLLAND of BADFINGER and TERRY SYLVESTER of THE HOLLIES. The video below is from our show backing Joey at The Taste of Rochester 2007, with "Come Down Hard" from the 1981 LP - Say No More. We also backed Joey up at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, UK -twice!- in August of 2006! We also enjoy a great relationship with original BEATLES drummer - PETE BEST. The Fab Five has opened/closed for The Pete Best band over a dozen times in the last 2 years, all over the Northeast.
