Mannheim Steamroller at Metra Tomorrow (Thursday 11/19)

One of the longest running musical tours in the industry makes its way to Billings tomorrow. Mannheim Steamroller performs at the Rimrock Auto Arena at  8:00 p.m.

When I hear those familiar synths and drums in November (or God forbid, October), it's usually one of my first "Christmas moments" of the year. Instant images of snow, Christmas lights, trees and tinsel. Based on the success of their tour, which has been going on for decades now, I am not alone in enjoying this annual tradition.

People started buying tickets for this show back in July, but they are still on sale at MetraPark.com, or at the box office.

If by some chance you are unfamiliar with this group's name, click the video above. After the first 8 notes (around :56 into the video), you'll know exactly who they are.
