ABBA SOO

A Live Tribute to the Music of ABBA

BAND BIO

Vocalists Janet Brown and Kerry Beacock, along with Mark Allemang (keyboards) and David Repath (guitars), came together in 2019 to enjoy and perform the music of Swedish pop supergroup ABBA.

Allemang had been dreaming about pulling together an ABBA tribute experience and approached his bandmate Kerry, who was instantly onboard with the idea. Having seen and heard Janet perform at various events around the local scene, Mark then connected with Brown to see if she’d be interested. Again, Mark received an enthusiastic "Yes!". With the lead vocalists in place, Janet then brought on guitarist Repath to complete the group.

Ever since their first show in July of 2022, they've been playing to singing and dancing audiences ever since!

Kerry Beacock (Frieda)

Known and loved by so many in Sault Ste Marie having spent a career in service and through performing music for years, Kerry infuses audiences and her bandmates with an infectious sense of fun, positivity and her genuine warmth of personality. Kerry's onstage presence and vocal talent are simply not to be missed!

Mark Allemang (Benny)

Multi-instrumentalist, dynamic performer, and all around awesome guy to simply be around, Mark is the visionary founder of ABBA Soo. With years of performance experience in local bands around the Sault and southern Ontario, a number of which he still rocks out with, Mark's keyboard magic and technical mastery tie together the musical stylings of ABBA Soo.

Janet Brown (Agnetha)

Janet is no stranger to the wonder and power of music. From an early age she has performed in choirs, local cover bands, musical theatre and now shares her incredible vocals and ear for harmony with ABBA Soo. With a voice and stage presence to remember, Janet connects audiences to the true beauty and fun of the music of ABBA!

David Repath (Bjorn)

A southern Ontario transplant who moved north in the mid-90's, David is still in awe that he has this chance to perform the music of ABBA. Early childhood memories include placing needle on the vinyl while staring at the Super Trouper album cover!
