About this Event

With hits like "Dancing Queen," "Mamma Mia," and "The Winner Takes It All," ABBA is one of the most beloved bands of all time. Dr. Mike Daley Presents: The ABBA Story is a concert and talk celebrating their lives and music, featuring renowned music historian Dr. Mike Daley on guitar and vocals, Laurel Tubman on vocals and percussion, Mike Ferfolia on bass and vocals, Suba Sankaran on vocals and percussion, and Jill Daley on piano and violin.

You'll learn about Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anna-Frid's early days on the Swedish pop scene and their emergence as global pop stars in the 1970s, with over 400 million records sold. Their uplifting, tuneful music remains popular to this day and has spawned countless spin-offs, from hit movies to hologram tours. The latest in a monthly series that has included sold-out lecture-concerts on David Bowie, Billy Joel, Gordon Lightfoot, Tina Turner and the Beach Boys, Dr. Mike Daley Presents: The ABBA Story is a must-see for any music fan.

Dr. Mike Daley is a musician and musicologist known across the GTA for his lectures and performances. Laurel Tubman (The Carole King Story, The Burt Bacharach Story) is a sought-after vocalist with the Jason Wilson Band and many others. Mike Ferfolia (The Stevie Wonder Story, The Bee Gees Story) is a popular bassist and singer. Suba Sankaran (The Fleetwood Mac Story) is an celebrated singer and composer with a Dora award and three Juno nominations to her credit. Jill Daley (all shows) is a full-time musician at Canada's National Ballet School and, like Mike, is part of the music team at Redeemer.

Church of the Redeemer is a spacious and comfortable (cushioned chairs, not pews)1879 church with excellent sightlines and acoustics. It is conveniently located in Yorkville, close to Bay and Museum subway stations, ample parking and fine restaurants.

General admission tickets are $35.00 plus HST and processing fee. These events usually sell out, but if tickets are available at the door, they will be $50.00, cash only. Ticket holders will check in at the door - there is no need to bring a paper or digital ticket.
