mania - the abba tribute - fall 2022 north american tour

Last fall, before our 2021 MANIA North American Fall Tour, I decided to try something I had never done before. With the encouragement of others and my curiosity, I decided to write a tour blog while on the road. I knew it would be an undertaking, but I was willing to try it. It was time-consuming, just like I thought, and I fell behind for a time or two. I enjoyed it, however, and it could turn into a lovely coffee table book if given more time. (Don't hold me to that)

When it was all said and done, I chalked it up to a one-off experiment simply because it did take a lot of time, and there is never enough time, especially on the road and with the number of shows we do. 

I have often said that if there is one thing to remember in moving forward is never to say never, for anything can happen. Well, bringing that thought to the forefront today, here we are. I did decide to write a tour blog for the fall 2022 tour. 

Below are my blogs from our performances on our Fall 2022 tour. Filled with pictures, videos, stage walks, etc., that a lot of you have come to love and request. It covers 29 shows, so I would not recommend you read it all in one sitting! I hope you finish it, though, and I would love to hear your thoughts, comments, and suggestions once you are through. Also, if you were at the shows and have pictures not posted here, I would love to look at them and possibly include them. Thank you for being part of my journey.
