About Mannheim Steamroller

Founded by Chip Davis, Mannheim Steamroller is a musical fusion of acoustic,
analog, digital and electronic sounds. Named after an 18th Century musical term
that now translates as "crescendo," the group first exploded on the scene with
their album Fresh Aire. Davis went on to produce seven more in the Fresh Aire
series, culminating in a Grammy Award for Best New Age Recording for the seventh
in the series. The group is also active in environmental issues. After fire
devastated Yellowstone National Park in 1998, Davis created a two-hour concert
tour, a gold album Yellowstone: The Music of Nature and raised more than half a
million dollars for park rebuilding projects. The Mannheim name extends out from
music to include a collection of products-bath and body, home, selected food
items and clothing-to complement the musical experience.
