Brickman kicks off Mendel Center Mainstage season

Piano sensation Jim Brickman leads the upcoming Lake Michigan College Mendel Center Mainstage season.

Brickman has revolutionized the sound of solo piano with his pop-style instrumentals and star-studded vocal collaborations, and he’s bringing his unique sound and showmanship to the Mendel Center at 8 p.m. Sept. 29.

Since the release of his debut album, “No Words,” in 1994, Brickman’s romantic piano sound has made him the best-selling solo piano artist of his time. Brickman’s latest releases include “Romanza,” a collection of Italian-inspired original love songs, andAll is Calm,” peaceful traditional carols celebrating the Christmas season.

Brickman’s best-known compositions include the chart-toppers “Valentine,” “The Gift,” “Love of My Life,” “Simple Things,” and “Peace.” He has established a reputation for his collaborations with many gifted musical artists: Lady Antebellum, Martina McBride, Kenny Loggins, Michael W. Smith, Carly Simon, Herb Alpert, Collin Raye, Michael Bolton, Donny Osmond, and Olivia Newton-John.

Tickets for Jim Brickman at the Lake Michigan College Mendel Center Mainstage are available by calling (269) 927-1221 or visiting www.lmcmainstage.org.
