As he marks this 19th year tradition from coast to coast, Jim will showcase new music, along with holiday favorites and the hits that made him the most charted Billboard Adult Contemporary artist, earning him two Grammy nods and four gold albums. With featured musical guests, feelings of comfort and joy are fused together with Jim's most beloved hits like "Valentine,” “If You Believe,” “The Gift," “Angel Eyes,” and "Sending You A Little Christmas.”
"You’ll be reminded of what we cherish during the most wonderful time of the year. . . togetherness," organizers said.
“His annual holiday tours have become so successful that he's becoming synonymous with the season,” said the Richmond Times Dispatch. “At this stage in his career, Brickman remains one of the most popular figures in pop instrumental music.”
Not only is Brickman “A crowd pleaser... His rhapsodic melodies coupled with considerable stage charm has made him a phenomenon,” hailed the Boston Herald.
“I love to perform live more than anything and I think the tone of my shows is such a familial and inviting type of experience that it's really become a tradition for a lot of people, which I'm thankful for,” says Mr. Brickman. Comfort & Joy will kickoff the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 28, in Sacramento, Ca.
