Silver is the color of MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER'S world as they hit the road this holiday season for their 25th Anniversary tour. Grammy Award® winner and best-selling author, Chip Davis, the creator of Mannheim Steamroller will direct and co-produce both the East Coast and West Coast Tours of The Christmas Music of Mannheim Steamroller by Chip Davis, and the infamous show will make a stop at the Fox Theatre at 8 p.m. Friday, November 27.

The popularity of Mannheim Steamroller has made them the largest selling Christmas artist of all time, and launching two tours will meet the high demand for this family holiday tradition. The group has sold more than 35 million recordings and will be releasing a limited edition, 25th Anniversary Christmas collection. This two disc set will include 25 Chip Davis and fan favorites.

"The unique talent of Chip Davis and Mannheim Steamroller has created such loyalty that audience members make this part of their family Christmas tradition. They have been on a 25 year journey with this incomparable group and their many unparalleled recordings," said Lee Marshall of Magic Arts & Entertainment.

Chip Davis says "First of all, I can't believe 25 years has flown by so quickly. I'm so grateful to our fans for continuing to buy our CDs and allowing us to have a 25 Year Collection. The worst part was everything is so good I couldn't figure out what to put on it. 'A lot of memories.' Enjoy them."

Chip Davis foundEd Mannheim Steamroller in 1974 to showcase his interest in fusing modern popular and classical techniques. After the first Fresh Aire album was turned down by major record labels, Davis founded American Gramaphone for its release as well as all subsequent Mannheim Steamroller albums. A total of eight Fresh Aire albums were released, concluding with Fresh Aire 8 in 2000. Fresh Aire 7 received the Grammy Award® for Best New Age Recording in 1990. The Mannheim name extends to a collection of products - bath and body, home, selected food items and clothing - to complement the musical experience.
