GREENEVILLE, Tenn. — The tribute band Arrival From Sweden: The Music of ABBA will perform at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 13 at Niswonger Performing Arts Center, 12 Tusculum Blvd., here.
The concert was rescheduled from its original date of Oct. 30, 2021 because of COVID-19 pandemic safety concerns.
Regarding the show, a press release stated, “Direct from Sweden, the world’s foremost ABBA tribute band, looks, sounds and dresses just like the super group.
“Dance and sing along to ‘Mamma Mia,’ ‘Dancing Queen,’ ‘Take a Chance,’ ‘Fernando’ and ‘The Winner Takes It All,’” among others.
Further, the release noted, “Pairing spot-on vocals with owning the exclusive rights to duplicate ABBA’s original outfits makes it easy to see why this is the world’s most-recognizable ABBA tribute group.”
As for why ABBA was so popular as a band, the website pianistmagazine.com stated, “Another factor in what made ABBA sound like ABBA is the sheer beauty of the textures. The group loved the ‘wall of sound’ principle pioneered by Phil Spector, and their studio engineer Michael Tretow created a double-tracked studio sound to ensure that the band sounded both polished and huge.”
