It's On Tonight - Brian Culbertson:
Showcased on Edition 391 - January 8th, 2006
Brian's adventures in music began at the age of 8 when he took up piano. Thanks to his dad, an award-winning high school jazz band director, Brian was exposed to a variety of sounds & styles. Jim Culbertson helped his son develop an ear for music and also taught him to play several instruments. With help from his father, Brian quickly added drums, trombone, and bass to his music arsenal.

In junior high, Brian grew bored with classical recital pieces. He began composing and experimenting with a synthesizer and an old four-track recorder. By the time he performed at his 7th grade piano recital, all of his material consisted of original music.

From the time that his debut album first broke onto the scene, now over 10 years ago, Brian has released a string of great cds that have placed him squarely near the front of the SJ pack.
