GRAMMY WINNER JOHNNY MATHIS TO PERFORM HIS CHRISTMAS HITS AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT
SANTA YNEZ, CA – November 25, 2022 – Johnny Mathis, the Grammy Award winner and platinum-selling singer-songwriter, who has been entertaining fans for over 60 years, will treat the Samala Showroom audience to “A Johnny Mathis Christmas” at 8 p.m. on Friday, December 16 at the Chumash Casino Resort. Tickets for the show are $69, $79, $89, $99 and $109.
Mathis started his career with singles of standard music before finding success as an album artist, with 18 albums achieving gold status and six reaching platinum status. He enjoyed early success and a record deal with Columbia Records, but it wasn’t until a 1957 appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” that he received national recognition. He quickly became a household name, with his second single, “Chances Are,” selling over a million copies. Over the course of his career, Mathis has had 34 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late” notably debuting at No. 1 in 1978.
His album “Johnny’s Greatest Hits” went on to become one of the most popular albums of all time and spent 490 continuous weeks (almost 10 years) on the Billboard 200, before being eclipsed by Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” in 1983, when it reached 491 continuous weeks.
In 2003, Mathis received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He has also been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for three recordings: “Chances Are,” “It’s Not for Me to Say” and “Misty.” With 66 years under his belt, Mathis continues to be Columbia Records’ longest-signed recording artist.
Don’t miss an opportunity to experience “A Johnny Mathis Christmas” in one of the most popular music venues in Santa Barbara County.
Located on Highway 246 in Santa Ynez, California, the Chumash Casino Resort is an age 21-and-older venue. Tickets for all events are available at The CLUB at Chumash or online at www.chumashcasino.com.
