Springfield, IL  (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Mannheim Steamroller is bringing their 2024 Christmas tour to the UIS Performing Arts Center on December 21. Founded by Grammy Award winner Chip Davis, the group is celebrating over 35 years of touring with the annual Christmas show.

“I remember when I came out with my first Christmas album in 1984 followed by our first tour.  Back then, many in the music industry said focusing on Christmas just wouldn’t work,” said Davis. “Now, over 35 years later, we are still going strong. I want to thank our fans for making us part of their holiday tradition. Today we often see multi-generational families join us during the holidays each year.”

Tickets for the event will be available to Friends of UIS Performing Arts Center starting Wednesday, July 24 and to the public on Friday, July 26 at 10 a.m. Tickets are priced between $19 and $99. Tickets are available at UISpac.com.
