Multiple-Grammy-nominated songwriter and pianist Jim Brickman returns to Franklin this holiday season with his festive tour The Gift of Christmas, a magical evening celebrating music, love and family. The Franklin Theatre hosts two performances on Sunday, Dec. 5; one at 2 p.m. and another at 7 p.m.

Brickman intends to make spirits bright, bringing family and friends together for anything but a silent night at this joyous concert that blends yuletide favorites with his own songs such as “The Gift,” “Sending You a Little Christmas,” “Angel Eyes” and “If You Believe.”

A new holiday album, Jim Brickman: A Christmas Symphony, is available now.

Those attending the Gift of Christmas tour dates should “be prepared for a warm and wonderful winter’s night brimming with emotion,” according to the Dallas Morning News.

Jim Brickman has sold over eight million albums worldwide since 1995’s No Words and his vocal collaborations have crossed genres to feature a wide range of artists including Olivia Newton-John, Martina McBride, Michael Bolton, Leslie Odem Jr., Donny Osmond, Kenny Rogers, Johnny Mathis and Kenny Loggins. He’s written three best-selling books, starred in four TV concert specials, and is in the 22nd season of hosting the popular syndicated radio show The Jim Brickman Show.
