Beautiful Music The first Jim Brickman concert I attended was not in a fancy concert hall but on the campus of the University of Sioux Falls at their college auditorium. Obviously, this was quite a few years ago...approximately mid 90's....I don't remember the exact year. I was a fan then and have been ever since. Jim has such a gift for making beautiful music and his music can make the worst of days seem better. Thanks for 15 years of some of the most emotional and hearfelt music ever written!

Thank you, Jim Someone like Jim Brickman doesn't appear very often. Sure, there are many talented piano players, however, there is only ONE Jim Brickman. When you sit and watch and listen to one of his concerts all you have to do is is see his silhouette within the shadows of the lighting and "listen" and just know-that could only be Jim Brickman. His timeless music will dwell in my heart and soul for the rest of my life. Submitted By: David Quiles

Congratulations on 15 Years! I was introduced to your music close to 9 years ago, Jim, by a gentleman I was dating at the time. Although he and I are no longer a couple (we are still friends though), your music has continued in my life. It makes me feel good, it helps me through tough times and I love attending your concerts and meeting you after each and every show (and love to surprise you by showing up in a city far from my hometown)! I wish you another 15 years of continued success! See you soon! xoxo, Pattie Rose Submitted By: Patricia Gort
