Description
Anymore it’s rare to find a bona fide grassroots success story. But once in while, a guy with a big dream and a great product can hit the big time. In the case of the musical icon Chip Davis and his band Mannheim Steamroller, that is exactly what happened.


As the type of person who turns adversity into opportunity, Davis took the rejection of every major record and turned it into a launch pad for his own label, American Gramaphone—the modest beginning of a musical empire.


Today, nearly thirty years later, American Gramaphone stands as one of the most successful independent music franchises in history. From his unlikely base of operations in Omaha, Nebraska, Davis has sold nearly 40 million records and produced hundreds of Mannheim Steamroller concerts that sell out around the world.
