Mannheim Steamroller Christmas

Chip Davis, founder and creator of Mannheim Steamroller, celebrates more than 40 Years of his annual Christmas concert tour, making it the longest-running concert tour in the entertainment industry!

The hallmark tour will begin this fall, with two traveling ensembles holding performances in cities across the country. Mannheim Steamroller will take over the San Jose Civic on Friday, December 4. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 24 @ 10 AM via Ticketmaster.

“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.”

Davis founded his own record label, American Gramaphone, which went on to become one of the industry’s largest independent record labels. A Grammy Award winner, Mannheim Steamroller has sold more than 41 million albums, with over 31.5 million in the Christmas genre. Their holiday CD’s have become synonymous with Christmas and occupy top positions on Billboard’s Seasonal Chart every year.
