The FabTones, a Beatles tribute band from Austin, will help fans of the Fab Four twist and shout the evening away at the FBG Event Center in Fredericksburg on Sat April 28 beginning at 7 p.m.
The goal of a FabTones performance is to create the excitement of a Beatles concert, according to Jack Flatau. By day, Flatau is the soccer coach at Southwestern University, but in the evening he performs as "Paul."
“Our goal is to have you sense that you are listening to the Beatles,” Flatau said.
They do that by wearing Beatles-style outfits, singing with British accents, and playing Beatles model instruments. Vocally, they recreate the distinctive harmonies that set Beatles music above other groups of the era.
The FabTones focus on the early Beatles music, featuring such hits as A Hard Day's Night, Please Please Me, Ticket to Ride, and Get Back.
Along with dancing, guests will enjoy a costume contest, trivia, and other surprises. Everyone attending will be eligible to win door prizes, including posters, books, and Beatles CDs.
Shannon Anderson of the Old Thyme Fun Shop will have a booth for face painting and costume supplies. The Limestone Grille will serve food, and drinks will be available.
Tickets are on sale at 830-990-1010. Advance tickets are $12 per adult, $7 per student (ages 13-21), and 12 and under free. Tickets at the door are $15 per adult. A special advance package with reserved table near the stage, dinner, and 4 drink tickets is available for $40 per couple.
The FBG Event Center is located just south of Fredericksburg on Tivydale Road. The party begins at 7 p.m. Parking is free.
More information is available by emailing beatles@fullhouseproductions.net.
