Embarking on his 18th annual holiday tour, Jim Brickman celebrates the sounds of the season in a big way, showcasing new music, along with holiday favorites and the hits that made him the most charted (30) Billboard Adult Contemporary artist, earning him two Grammy nods and four gold albums. With featured musical guests, feelings of hope and joy are fused together with Brickman's most beloved hits like "Valentine," "If You Believe," "The Gift," "Angel Eyes," and "Sending You A Little Christmas." You'll be reminded of what we cherish during the most wonderful time of the year. . . Togetherness. Hailed by the Boston Herald as a "crowd-pleaser," this in a one-of-a-kind concert event filled with lush instrumentals and soaring vocals.

"His annual holiday tours have become so successful that he's becoming synonymous with the season," said the Richmond Times Dispatch. "At this stage in his career, Brickman remains one of the most popular figures in pop instrumental music." Not only is Brickman "A crowd pleaser... His rhapsodic melodies coupled with considerable stage charm have made him a phenomenon," hailed the Boston Herald.

"I love to perform live more than anything and I think the tone of my shows is such a familial and inviting type of experience that it's really become a tradition for a lot of people, which I'm thankful for," says Brickman. On A Winter's Night will kickoff the day after Thanksgiving (November 28) at Miller Symphony Hall in Allentown, PA. For a full list of tour stops, visit www.jimbrickman.com/tour.

About Jim Brickman - Closing 2014 on a high note with 20 years in the music business, Brickman is still at the top of his game. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Brickman began playing piano at the age of five, studying at the prestigious Cleveland Institute of Music where he was honored with a scholarship in his name in 2012. Brickman is the host of a weekly syndicated radio show, Your Weekend with Jim Brickman, airing on 80+ stations across North America and authored two best-selling books, Simple Things and Love Notes.

Music for soothing the aches of daily life and music for hanging the mistletoe - that's the Jim Brickman way. The highest compliment you can pay this pop pianist is to tell him that his compositions became the soundtrack while delivering a baby, taking a bubble bath, enduring chemotherapy, lulling your little one to sleep, dancing with daddy at your wedding and falling in love again. "This is more than just 'I love that hit song,'" Brickman said. "It's about the experience. I am interested in all the ways that people use the music more so than ever. I want the music to be a constant part of their lives." In April 2015, Brickman continues exploring the ways we help to soothe ourselves and each other with his Soothe project, available on CD, book and beyond.
