Mannheim Steamroller
The alias of composer Chip Davis,, born on September 5, 1947, Mannheim Steamroller was among the pioneers of neo-classical electronic music, emerging as one of the driving forces behind the new age phenomenon. After his independently-released 1974 debut, Fresh Aire, became a hit in the audiophile world, Davis spent the next decade expanding his brand.

1984's massively popular Mannheim Steamroller Christmas was the release that broke Davis' project into the mainstream and subsequent holiday-themed releases and annual tours ensured that Mannheim Steamroller would remain a perennial Yuletide staple well into the 21st century. In addition to the Fresh Aire and Christmas series are albums devoted to the natural world and even a set of Halloween collections.

Born in Sylvania, OH, Davis' father was a high school music teacher, while his mother was a trombonist with Phil Spitalny's All Girl Orchestra. His grandmother was his first music teacher, giving the child his initial piano lessons at the age of four; two years later, Davis composed his first piece, a four-part chorale written in honor of his dog. :dog2:

Fantastic new Christmas album I highly suggest you give it a high res stream through. Perhaps with a glass or nog or with some Bourbon at night next to a fire. He’s just great!
