I had to let you know how much I enjoyed you on the Super Jazz Cruise. You rocked the boat with your performance and your overall charm. You were so much fun. I felt more like 30 instead of 54  just watching your energy and having the opportunity to party with you. That's what I enjoyed most about the cruise the fact that most of the entertainers mingled and chatted with the passengers. You are my favorite artist and that was just an enjoyable experience for me.  I am still talking about.  You have my respect and that's why every time you ran into me on the boat I greeted you with MR BRIAN. Take care, be safe and see you on the 2010 cruise. You are fantastic, keep rockin!!!!

Just got back from the concert at Morongo!  Still awake, I was so wired from the music, mood, and company, you Rock Brian!  Each time I see you, you continue to amaze me.  Just saw the show with Koz and Peabo Bryson at Thornton in July, and you just keep getting better and better each time I see you.  I loved the intimate setting tonite and just rushing the stage to watch the last song, down to the very last note.  Heard the new CD on my way home, it's SWEET!  Keep up the creative mind and the energetic spirit, you were off the hook tonite!  Just love ya!

Brian,

We took the weekend and went to Murphy's (Ironstone) and treated some very special friends of ours and you didn't dissappoint us.  They are now fans and want to make a date to see you when you come back out here and we are thrilled.  You and Dave Koz stoled the show, it just wasn't long enough for us fans.

Take care and thank you, thank you, thank you!

Congratulations Brian!  You deserve it.  You're the BEST!!!

Hey "B". It's me. Just wanted to thank you for the great show last night in Everett with Barry. I was truly impressed, and very surprised with the tightness of just you 4 musicians playing on stage. It was incredible. 

Also, thanks for spending time with me, Keith and Helen on Saturday evening. It was very generous of you.

Also, sorry about your shoulder when we took the picture. I leaned a little too hard on you, and your facial expression showed it. LOL.

See you on the 28th at Berks. Have a great week. Love you much!! 

Brian...

I just returned from the Barry Manilow Concert at Nassau Coliseum, and have to say we were blown away by your opening act! You truly rank right up there with all the Jazz greats, we couldn't get enough and now we are hooked ! Thank you for making our Valentines Day Concert even more special, I hope to see you in the NYC area soon and meanwhile ordering all of your CD's that I can get my hands on ....Talent like yours is hard to come by and I feel truly lucky to have been able to see you perform live in NY.....ciao

Your new fan,

Tallblondecher

Hey B, just read the news on FB that you and Mr. Dave Koz will be touring together this summer!!!! I am so excited..You two are going to put on such an amazing, high energy,unforgetable show.  I am requesting as many Bay Area dates as possible...

Hi Brian,

I saw your Christmas Show at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert a few weeks ago and it was great. When you signed a CD for me I told you that every time I see you, you get better, I mean it!

How about another show soon in the Palm Springs area? I know the local jazz radio station really supports you and you have alot of fans here. The Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage has just built a brand new venue called "The Show" (opens Feb 12 with Billy Joel), it would be a great place for you to have a show and the crowd would be more fun than the McCallum (I just don't know how people can sit still when you are playing!!).

Thanks for sharing you great talent with us.

Pam

Hey, Brian, I just caught your Christmas show at the Conga Room in L.A. on December 19th.  I am just blown away that every time I see you play, the show just gets more and more awesome!  There is nothing like a live performance to lift your spirits and make you feel that life is good!

Looking forward to the next jazz cruise!  Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope you made it to Chicago!

Big hello Brian!

I hope you all are having fun while on tour still an getting some good rest :)

It was a grand pleasure to meet you in Seattle.   I can't wait to see the next "A soulful christmas" in Seattle 2009 already.

Also, thank you for answering those questions I had on Jazz Queen's blogtalkradio. It was interesting to hear your thoughts. 

Hugs from the Pacific Northwest!

Hey "B". It's taken me a while to recover from last Friday's show here in Seattle. Once again, you were absolutely fantastic. The band was smokin' as usual, and you my friend were "Off The Hook" as usual. Thanks so much for spending time with us fans at the Meet and Greet. I had a blast. Best wishes on the rest of the Tour. See you at Berks. Love you much!!! Happy Holidays to you and your Family.

Sharon B.

Greetings Brian (!!!!)
It was an honor to have you back in Seattle on friday (11-28).  The concert was FABULOUS!  I am looking forward to seeing you again in the near future.......wine.....espresso....wine....espresso.  

BC snob,

Misslinda

Brian,

        Glad to see your making it BIG TIME now.. Music sounds great on your website. I wish I was going to be in Harrisburg PA for your show. Tell your sister Jamie I said hi. We dated back in 2000 - 2001 and remember her talking about how great were.. Hope she is doing well and keep rocking the jazz.. Brad

I really enjoyed you on the Capital Jazz cruise.  You are truly one of the most entertaining artists!!!  I thought about the song, and it's not what I told you.  The name of the song is "Escape."  One of my favorite BC songs.  Just wanted to share with you.  Take care!!!!

Althea

Please come back to Toronto, Canada for Christmas 2008.

Your show was OUT OF THIS WORLD !!! What a line-up!

Yoshi's SF (Saturday)

Words can not describe the intensity at a Brian Culbertson show.  He is so AMAZING!!! The band is so AMAZING!!!! Last night at Yoshi's SF, B and his 5 man crew reminded he audience why live music is here to stay.  Even with the technical difficulties, once again Brian rose to the occassion to put on the best show ever.  Thanks Brian for continuing to make me smile, dance and proud to love the artist that you have become.  Someone soulful, someone genuine, someone dedicated to his music, fans and family. And always, thanks for taking the time out to appreciate your fans with pics, autographs, and conversation. Lets hope Yoshi's will again invite Brian to perform again.....and again....and again......

The Atlanta Show on 9/19/08

What an awesome show. I got my BC fix. I won't spoil anything for those of you that have not seen the latest show, however, I will say it's a great mix of the new FUNK experience, some of my personal favorites as well as crowd pleasers.
The show opened on time with Rahsaan Patterson followed by Lalah Hathaway. So this was mostly an R&B crowd that received a boost with Brian's electric performance. He certainly gained new fans that will no doubt come back just to see him.
Thanks Brian for another enjoyable evening. Thanks Lisa for all that you do for the fans.
Phyllis

Hi Brian,

Saw you for the first time as the opening act for Barry Manilow in Phila(Wachovia) Just came home from seeing you again at the Keswick in Glenside, Pa. All I can say is "I am hooked" You have yourself a new 54 year old female fan! I was in the 2nd row to your left last night! Hubby and I really enjoyed the show.

Debbie

Hello,Mr. Culbertson

I am new to your blog and music and I would like to know if you are ever going to come to this small town I live in. I love your style . I live in Battle Creek Michigan

Hi B, hope all is well with you and the family.  I am enjoying your Bringing Back The Funk cd and your live performances.  I am looking forward to seeing you (again) this month in Sacramento. I still meet new fans that can't believe you created such a funky cd and the Funk Experience Band is extremely HOT !!! Thanks for your Saturday am radio broadcast on KKSF.  And for your many interviews with various smooth jazz personalities.  Thanks to our fan club pres Lisa Taylor for the GREAT pics, meet n greets, answering all my emails and just keeping up with the busiest guy around. B, I am patiently waiting for your Christmas tour to begin (Nov) and to see the amazing musicians that will get the opportunity to "hang" with you this holiday season.

Take care, get some rest and see you soon...

L, Nita

Hi Brian,

Just wanted to say hello.  I hope you are not getting too exhausted with your busy tour schedules. Take care.  

Irene 

Oh, forgot to thank you for selecting the "It's On Tonight" CD for me to purchase.(My first BC CD).  I have played  it about three times since last night. Awesome work!!

Mona

Hi BC!

WOW!!! What an awesome performance last night at the Greek Theatre.  Your musical talents and energy are unlike any that I have witnessed in a long time.  I have heard your name on the 94.7 wave music station but was not aware of the musical genius behind the name. I would like to wish you and your band continued success. (They were incredible!)  Hope to see you again in the Los Angeles area.

Sincerely,

Mona(I asked you if you grew up in church) Love that gospel sound!!

PS Check out your review at www.blackentertainment.net (My honey wrote it)

Hey Brian,

Saw you last night at the Greek Theater, what a treat!! My husband and I totally loved it..... just an incredible concert!!!!  You are truly amazing and of course your band is wonderfully talented too.  We look forward to seeing you again soon in the LA area.  Thanks for a dynamite experience.

Hey Brian, as usual, you were amazing on the Spirit Cruise July 23rd in New York!!  It's alway a pleasure seeing you and speaking with you again.  I hope to see you in New Jersey and please, please hurry back to New York City.  We miss and love you!!

Take care, Catherine

Hello Brian,

Just a suggestion, on your next Soulful Christmas concert, you don't have to invite special guests to perform with you.  You and your band are more than enough to entertain your fans. I want to see more of your performance.  You're great!   

Irene 

Hey "B". Sorry I'm late, but Congratulations on "Always Remember" being Number 1. It goes right along with you, my number 1 person, friend and musician. Keep Funkin'. Love you much.

Sharon B.

Brian,

Congratulations on Always Remember going to #1. 

Terri

Hi Brian,

The first time I watched you perform as a guest in Wavefest a few years ago, I immediately fell in love with your music. You are an amazing artist.  I hope you'll put together an album of all your greatest hits.  Keep up the great work!

Irene

Brian,

I have an request.  I absolutey love picture #5 in your photo album.  Sexy as hell!!!!  May I please have an autograph copy?  See you, again, in Las Vegas on Sept. 5.

Terri

Brian,

I hope you remember me, I'm a promoter in Louisville, Kentucky. I had you here in concert a couple of times. I just wanted to say I'm gald you're bringing back the funk.

Thanks!

Ruda'

EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!

I drove 7 hours from Las Vegas to Temecula, CA to see Brian at the Pechanga Casino and Brian, you have out done yourself on this tour!  In my 6 years of attending your concerts in Las Vegas, the Funk Experience concert, by far, is the absolute best concert you have produced.  It was sooooooo good. From the horn section to the saxophone player, Marqual (spelling?), by the way you need to produce a CD for Marqual, it was absolutely wonderful!!!!  Brian you perfomed like you never have before.  You are such a deliberate player on the keyboards and once you get started, you become one with it.  All I could do was just sit in my chair in awe of your performance.  I can't wait to see you again here in Las Vegas in September.

Congratulations on the CD being #1 for two weeks.  You deserve it!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time after your concerts to get to know us, your fans.  We love it!

Terri

Brian,

I was allready a big fan from "Come on up" and just bought "Bringing back the funk" and it seems I've allready found my favourite CD of 2008!

Any plans for touring in Europe?

Bart/Antwerp

My man BC, I bought "Bringing BackThe Funk" while in Bama last week and spent a long time on the road with it, you know what, you did bring back the funk. My fav is "The Groove" and "Funkin Like My Father" not discounting the others. You have always been my favorite key-boardest, the problem is I live in Buffalo NY and I'm sure I'll never get to see you here. I think I did suggest to you awhile back in an e-mail that you do some funk, a remake of stuff from James Brown, I knew you had it in ya. BC, keep up the good work.

Charles/Buffalo
