Brian Culbertson’s Breathtaking Opening Act

Brian pays tribute to his wife Michelle as the inspiration of his “COLORS OF LOVE” tour.

Brian Culbertson kicked off his 50 city, 70 performance, 3 month long “COLORS OF LOVE” tour in Reading, PA as the opening act of the 10 day 28th Annual Berks Jazz Festival.

Brian reached back to May of 2016 when he launched his seminal “FUNK” CD”!

Paying tribute to his wife Michelle with a solo piece called ‘Michelle’s Theme’, he slowed his roll just long enough to play his baby Grande piano which he added for the first time on his 20 plus years of touring. His new CD has been #1 on Billboard for the last 4 weeks.

“Play That Funky Music White Boy”, was the challenge of his all black band led by Marqueal Jordan on sax, Tyrone Chase on Guitar and Eddie Miller on vocals!

Brian also paid tribute to Maurice White with a ‘Been Around The World” theme featuring international themes on the jumbotrons.

The flags of Ethiopia and Australia wrap the stage.

One of the unique features of the “COLORS OF LOVE” tour is Brian’s uncredible integration of guest singers and entertainers such as Noel Goudine and Chase via JumboTron visits.

NeoSoul singer ‘Chase’ joined brian during his Blue segments – Brian had 5 wardrobe changes to change the mood!

Even Sinbad joined the show as a comic setup for the FUNK segment, as he warmed up the audience to “Say FUNK with a Nasty Face. It’s like walking off a Roller Coaster on to a Merry Go Round”
