Jim Brickman To Perform At McCallum Theatre

Popular composer and musician Jim Brickman revolutionized the sound of adult contemporary music with his pop-style solo piano and the romantic popular song.

Jim began writing jingles and composed for the Muppets and "Sesame Street." Jim released his debut album, No Words, in 1994, followed by By Heart; Picture This; The Gift; Visions of Love; Destiny; My Romance: An Evening with Jim Brickman; and a children's album, Love Songs and Lullabies. Continuing his recording success, he followed with Grace; Peace; and The Disney Songbook.

Jim's remarkable career includes six Gold and Platinum albums, three #1 hits and twelve Top 10 Adult Contemporary hits, consistent debuts at #1 on Billboard Magazine's New Age chart, a Grammy nomination, SESAC "Songwriter of the Year" award, a Canadian Country Music Award for "Best Vocal/Instrumental Collaboration," and a Dove Award presented by the Gospel Music Association. Jim's best-known compositions include the chart-toppers "Valentine," "The Gift," "Love of My Life," and "Peace." In November 2005, he held the top three spots on Billboard's New Age chart for his albums The Disney Songbook, Grace, and Greatest Hits. In 2006, Jim released Escape, featuring a variety of instrumental compositions and musical guest artists from R&B superstar Gerald Levert to country vocalist Sara Evans. Jim has collaborated with many gifted musical artists including Martina McBride, Kenny Loggins, Carly Simon, Herb Alpert, Collin Raye, Michael Bolton, and Olivia Newton-John.

Taking his concerts to more than 125 cities each year, Jim has received international acclaim as a concert performer. He also performed on his second sold-out Jim Brickman Valentine Cruise. Jim has taped three PBS concert specials, hosts a weekly syndicated radio show, and is the author of two best-selling books of essays, Simple Things and Love Notes: 101 Lessons from the Heart. Jim performed at ABC's Gala for the President at Ford's Theatre, was the music correspondent for NBC's Today Show, and hosted the A&E special Winter Solstice on Ice.
