Chip Davis' Christmas Music Of Mannheim Steamroller at Milwaukee Theatre
What’s been said about Mannheim Steamroller that hasn’t already been said about your average Third World war-zone? All (somewhat) kidding aside, this New Age juggernaut—which has somehow sold a staggering 28 million records worldwide—is one of the biggest modern practitioners of Christmas music, with nearly a dozen holiday albums dating back to 1984 in its catalog (several of which are condensed into 2009’s two-disc Christmas: 25th Anniversary Collection). Group founder Chip Davis also hosts the annual 12-hour syndicated radio show Mannheim Steamroller’s An American Christmas, which makes sitting through a relatively succinct 90-minute concert seem almost enticing by comparison.
