Jazz and R&B pianist Brian Culbertson returns to Ruth Eckerd Hall on his Day Trip Tour! Over the course of crafting a 29-album catalog and architecting 40 Billboard #1 singles as a keyboardist, songwriter, and producer, 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.
A driving force in contemporary jazz, Culbertson has shared the stage with legends across the jazz spectrum and has been a featured performer at major jazz festivals worldwide. His music, while stylistically diverse, is grounded in the improvisation, phrasing, and interplay that define jazz. He also founded and curates the annual Napa Valley, New Orleans, and Chicago Jazz Getaways, which draw jazz lovers from around the globe.

Ruth Eckerd Hall, located in Clearwater, FL, was founded in 1977 when a 38-acre parcel of land was donated to the City of Clearwater by June Baumgardner Gelbart in honor of Richard B. Baumgardner, Sr., with the condition that the land be used for a performing arts center. Local philanthropist Jack Eckerd donated to the cause and purchased naming rights for the venue for his wife, Ruth. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held in 1979 and the Hall was completed in October 1983, opening on October 16, 1983, with the first official performance featuring the Suzuki Children of Japan. Designed by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Ruth Eckerd Hall is a 73,000-square-foot facility that features a 2,180-seat auditorium, the Margarete Heye Great Room banquet facility, administration offices, and the Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts, which includes three studio classrooms, four private teaching studios, the Michael & Joan Kline Dance Studio, the Henrietta Campbell Rehearsal Studio, the Challener-Morrow Production Studios, a visual arts learning lab, and the recently renovated 250-seat Murray Theatre.
