Over the course of crafting a 29-album catalog and architecting 40 Billboard #1 singles as a keyboardist, songwriter and producer, Brian Culbertson has charted his own unique course in music. Label him jazz and he makes a funk record. Call him an R&B artist and he drops an acoustic jazz trio collection. Brand him pop and he creates a 32-minute New Age opus. And you’d be hard pressed to name another instrumentalist of his ilk who can mount an elaborately designed concert production that will keep him on the road for three consecutive months. Culbertson burst onto the scene in 1994 with a chart-topping album that he recorded in his college apartment featuring keyboard-led contemporary jazz tracks. “Long Night Out” landed him a lengthy record deal and signaled that a star was born. Flash forward to present day, Culbertson has been going back and listening more and more to music that inspired him as a young musician such as David Sanborn, The Brecker Bros, Chick Corea, Al Jarreau, Pat Metheny, and others in the jazz fusion world. “It instantly brought me back to the days of ‘no rules’ and the pure joy of music, something that I think a lot of albums today are lacking. With that said, I set out to write and produce a new album that would try to capture a little bit of that late 70’s and early 80’s spirit of music exploration, along with using only live musicians and real instruments. Similar in style to “Another Long Night Out”, “Day Trip” is the daytime version!” said Culbertson. Possessing style, panache, and a savvy business mind capable of moving the needle in music and beyond, Culbertson founded and curates the annual Napa Valley, New Orleans, and Chicago Jazz Getaways, which have attracted guests from all over the globe to experience his premier events. Whether you’re listening to music from “Day Trip” on record or live in concert, you’re hearing an eclectic, entertaining and engaging set from an artist at the peak of his power.

It was absolutely off the chain! Brian Culbertston never disappoints! The show was sonically and aesthetically fulfilling. The way he and the band share the music with the audience is incomparable. The music was a combination of the latest albums, The Trilogy, and a few of his memorable compositions from his decades-long career. You, the fan, felt as if Brian, through his performance, has given his all to you! We were fortunate enough to have VIP tix and witnessed his mastery during the soundcheck. As members of the Hang Club, we were treated to a special meet and greet after the show. Wanita Lynne Choiniere
The Cabot Beverly, MAAn unforgettable night - what a concert Brian Culbertson and his team delivered! The best concert performance we have ever attended, which are many! Brian is so personable and connects with his audience continuously. Brian is truly a gifted musician - he’s the real deal! Look forward to the next time that we get to see him in concert - this was our second time seeing him. If you have the opportunity to see Brian and his team, jump on it! This was a high energy jazz, funk and fusion performance - unlike anything we have seen before!
The National Richmond, VAThere are not enough stars available to adequately describe Brian Culbertson’s performance at the North Carolina Museum of Art! He and his band not only put on a show, they made the audience leave with a smile on their face and a warm feeling in their heart! Brian and the band played for nearly 2 hours never missing a beat and playing a mixture of his old and brand new songs! If you’ve never seen him perform live, take my word for it, you will NOT be disappointed. Take it from a 4 time show attendee in the past 2 years! He’s worth it!
North Carolina Museum Of Art Raleigh, NCI am almost without words! He was fantastic and beyond!❤️❤️ Being a senior citizen, I have to be careful about money. I am a Smokey Robinson fan to the T and usually I just go see Smoke. But I have added Brian to my must see list. He had my 77 year old husband doing the boogie! What a great night we had. Be sure to tell him thank you for us and we will see him again. Hopefully the next time around, I can my grown kids and teenage grandkids! They will love it!❤️ Hugs and stay safe. Keep playing!!

Crest Theatre Sacramento, CAOne of the best shows I’ve seen in a really long time. I have seen Brian Culbertson a few other times when I lived in the SF Bay Area in the early 2000’s. We don’t get much smooth jazz around here in SLO and it was a Tuesday night but I didn’t care. I was going even if I had to go alone! All the musicians were outstanding. There were 8 in total and the additional funk vibe of the newer stuff had me on my feet. If you see this tour come your way, GO! You won’t b
