In celebration of the 30th anniversary Christmas tour, its tracks include Christmas fan favorites and selections from Davis’ iconic Fresh Aire series and recordings by his daughter, Elyse, celebrate 40 years of ground-breaking sound.
Mannheim Steamroller has sold more than 40 million albums, 28 million in the Christmas genre. With a total of 12 holiday CDs, an average of eight Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums occupy Billboard’s Top Seasonal Chart every year.
