MANIA THE ABBA TRIBUTE Thursday, February 13 at 7:30 p.m. at The Saenger Theatre. It has now been 31 years since ABBA last toured and, as you can imagine, in 1979 requests for tickets far outstripped availability with two Royal Albert Hall performances receiving 2 million requests for tickets, with only 5000 available. In short, it was the hottest ticket in town. Even today ABBA continues to grip the nation with countless tributes on television, radio and of course with the hugely popular stage hit Mamma Mia, now a feature film, so there are no signs that this popularity is slowing down!

DIKKI DU & THE ZYDECO KREWE Friday and Saturday, February 14 & 15 at 5:30 p.m. at Paradise Bar & Grill. The Carrier family is as synonymous with Zydeco music as beads are with Mardi Gras. Dikki Du Carrier marks the third generation of the Carriers to keep the musical tradition alive. Dikki Du (Troy Carrier) is a native of Church Point, Louisiana. Born into one of the great musical Louisiana families, The CARRIERS, Troy is the brother of Chubby Carrier and son of Roy Carrier. Dikki Du’s recent “Make it Funky” shows the tremendous range of this band. His ability to take songs from classic zydeco and turn them inside out with fresh and funky sounds, and his renditions of “Iko-Iko” and Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” ensure a great groove.
PENSACOLA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA: BOND & BEYOND Saturday, February 15 at 7:30 p.m. Enjoy a night of musical intrigue as Broadway and pop vocalists Chloe Lowery and Ron Bohmer join the orchestra for the music of the spies, from James Bond hits to The Pink Panther, Indiana Jones and The Incredibles.
