| July 28, 2022 12:00 AM

The iconic Christmas group Mannheim Steamroller will stop for a concert in Kalispell on Wednesday, Dec.14, at the Wachholz College Center as part of its annual Christmas concert tour.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, July 29.

Chip Davis, founder and creator of Mannheim Steamroller, will celebrate over 35 years of his tour, making it the longest running concert tour in the entertainment industry. The hallmark tour will begin Nov. 15 and run through Dec. 30. Two traveling ensembles will hold performances in cities across the country.

“I remember when I came out with my first Christmas album in 1984 followed by our first tour,” Davis said in a release. “Back then, many in the music industry said focusing on Christmas just wouldn’t work. Now, over 35 years later, we are still going strong. I want to thank our fans for making us part of their holiday tradition, especially after the hardships of the last few years. 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 CDs have become synonymous with Christmas and occupy top positions on Billboard’s Seasonal Chart every year. This year’s show will feature classic Christmas hits from the Mannheim Steamroller holiday albums, along with multimedia effects in an intimate setting. Davis will direct and co‐produce tour performances with MagicSpace Entertainment.

Mannheim Steamroller Christmas by Chip Davis is co‐produced by MagicSpace Entertainment. The company is a boutique producing and presenting firm based in Park City, Utah, and focused on first‐class properties and productions.
