   About Mannheim Steamroller


Back in the ‘70’s, Chip Davis was a classically-trained musician working in the advertising world. In his spare time, he was busy inventing a new style of music. When approached, the big record labels were intrigued, but confused by this new style: it wasn’t exactly jazz, it wasn’t really rock, and it wasn’t precisely classical. So, in 1975 Chip founded his own company, and American Gramaphone quickly grew to be the largest independent record label in the country. In order to increase exposure to his music, Chip started a new band he called Mannheim Steamroller and started touring the world.

Fast forward 30 years, and you’ll find the same dynamics at work at American Gramaphone. Today, Mannheim Steamroller is a group of the most talented and versatile musicians, still touring the world. The band is an ever-changing consortium of musicians, technicians and engineers using state-of-the-art equipment to create Mannheim Steamroller’s signature sound. The group can vary in size from one player, to a small ensemble, to an entire symphony.

Mannheim Steamroller is one of the top selling bands of all time, outselling such artists as Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Sting and Bruce Springsteen.




Chip Davis: Creator, Arranger, Producer



Chip Davis is the genius behind Mannheim Steamroller and the driving force of American Gramaphone. His now-classic Fresh Ai
re series and the multi-platinum Christmas albums have brought him international renown.
Chip combines the dynamics of musical mastery and technical wizardry to create a style often described as “18th Century Rock-n-Roll.” He named the band Mannheim Steamroller for the 18th century musical technique that we know today as the crescendo.

For the first time in the band's history, Chip is not on stage with his celebrated band of merry-makers. Instead he is home recovering from surgery (he calls it a "real drummer bummer"). However, rather than leave Mannheim Steamroller home for the holidays, Chip decided it was time to reinvent the way the band tours. Chip created two traveling troupes, assigned some original band members to each and hand selected several terrific young musicians to join Mannheim Steamroller. Between the two bands, Mannheim Steamroller will entertain in more than 60 cities and towns this season.

Tonight’s concert is a celebration of 25 remarkable years of groundbreaking Christmas music. Just out for this holiday season is Chip’s new album Christmasville—featuring the music of that grouchy yet lovable character, The Grinch. Chip’s 2007 release, Christmas Song, earned platinum status within two weeks of its release.

From his unlikely base of operations in Omaha, Nebraska, Chip has sold nearly 30 million records and produced hundreds of Mannheim Steamroller concerts around the world. The Grammy Award winner lives on a farm with his wife Trisha and three children

Hi there,
Happy Independence Day
The 4th of July is a day to remember all those who have fought and are still fighting for our freedom. While we Sleep They Wake, While We enjoy our bbq's and swim in the pool.. They're defending our borders and eating sand. I salute all the men and women who make it possible everyday for my children and I to live a free life and if you are one of them ~~ From the bottom of my heart I THANK YOU!!! So Please take a moment on the 4th and remember what it really stands for... That Red White and Blue is not just a piece of cloth.. It is a SYMBOL of our freedom and the men and women who fight for it.

Happy Independence Day!!!!
~Kim

I'm Proud To Be An American
Written By Lee Greenwood



If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away.


I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, '
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.


From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A.
, There's pride in every American heart and it's time we stand and say:


I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, '
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.

Thank you for having me as a friend since last year. I have enjoyed your Christmas music for 13 years since first hearing your music on Rush's radio program as part of his bumper music after the commercial breaks. Since then I have bought just about everyone of your Christmas albums. Hope that you and your family had a Merry Christmas and keep up the good work!
