Jim Brickman with saxophonist Dave Koz

Brickman also recently completed a nationwide concert tour for PBS, visiting more than 70 radio stations across the country, and has scheduled a 75-city PBS concert tour this fall. Co-produced by High Five Entertainment and Brickman Concerts, the shows will feature Brickman performing on a Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano.

"PBS is one of the only places on television that is open to artists who fall into a non-descript niche," explains Brickman. "It's not typical to have these kinds of shows on commercial television, but the idea of diversity is what public television celebrates."

Brickman is also planning a concert tour this winter with music from his upcoming Christmas CD.
