This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Christmas tour and release of "Mannheim Steamroller Christmas," an album that revolutionized the holiday season music category. It's also the 40th anniversary of Davis' first album in his Fresh Aire series that pioneered the New Age music category.
A Grammy Award winner, Davis will direct and co-produce performances with MagicSpace Entertainment. The show features classic Christmas hits from Mannheim Steamroller and multimedia effects in an intimate setting.
In addition to being a holiday tradition for many families, the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Tour regularly attracts repeat attendance from multigenerational guests and is one of the longest running tours in the music industry.
Davis released a new album, "Mannheim Steamroller 30/40," this fall. In celebration of the 30th anniversary Christmas tour, its tracks include Christmas fan favorites and selections from Davis' iconic Fresh Aire series and recordings by his daughter, Elyse, celebrate 40 years of ground-breaking sound.
Mannheim Steamroller has sold more than 40 million albums, 28 million in the Christmas genre. With a total of 12 holiday CDs, an average of eight Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums occupy Billboard's Top Seasonal Chart every year.
With 19 gold, eight multi-platinum and four platinum-certified records, Davis is among an elite group of artists that includes U2, Jay-Z and The Beach Boys with such certifications.
