Brian Culbertson brings his contemporary jazz fusion sound to the Grand Events Center, showcasing music from across his impressive 29-album catalog. The multi-instrumentalist keyboardist has spent decades blending jazz, funk, R&B, and pop influences, and his recent work draws inspiration from the jazz fusion pioneers of the late 70s and early 80s like David Sanborn and the Brecker Brothers. His latest album "Day Trip" captures that era's spirit of musical exploration, featuring only live musicians and real instruments.
Known for elaborate concert productions that keep him touring for months at a time, Culbertson's shows are as much about the visual presentation as the music itself. The intimate 2,000-seat venue provides an ideal setting to experience his keyboard-led performances, which range from funky contemporary jazz to acoustic trio arrangements. Beyond his recording career that includes 40 Billboard #1 singles, he's also the founder of the popular Jazz Getaway series in destinations like Napa Valley and Hawaii, drawing fans from around the world.
The show is general admission standing room only, and while it's open to all ages, attendees under 21 must be accompanied by someone of legal drinking age. Doors open an hour before the headliner takes the stage.
