Mannheim Steamroller Christmas

Chip Davis, founder and creator of Mannheim Steamroller, is celebrating more than four decades of his annual Christmas concert tour, making it the longest running concert tour in the entertainment industry!

“I remember when I came out with my first Christmas album in 1984, followed by our first tour. Back then, many in the music industry said focusing on Christmas just wouldn’t work,” said Davis. “Now, more than 40 years later, we are still going strong. I want to thank our fans for making us part of their holiday tradition. Today we often see multi-generational families join us during the holidays each year.”

From his longtime home in Omaha, Chip Davis makes innovative music inspired by the sounds of another age. His first Christmas album in 1984 revolutionized the making and marketing of holiday music, and the album’s success made Christmas records a “must” for all musical artists. Davis founded his own record label, American Gramaphone, which went on to become one of the industry’s largest independent record labels. With 19 gold, eight multi-platinum and four platinum-certified records, Mannheim Steamroller has sold more than 41 million albums, with more than 31.5 million in the Christmas genre. Their holiday albums have become synonymous with Christmas and occupy top positions on Billboard’s Seasonal Chart every year.

Mannheim Steamroller Christmas offers holiday hits performed by 15 musicians playing more than 20 instruments against a backdrop of dazzling multimedia effects – capturing the spirit of the season in an immersive yet intimate setting.
