According to Jim McDonough's website, his annual holiday tour has become an Iowa staple after the musician spent stints as a high school band director, cruise ship entertainer, and air traffic controller. He then began selling his distinctive brand of soothing piano music in gift shops in eastern Iowa and is now taking his brand of holiday cheer across the Hawkeye state.

Don't miss him this year!
