Brian Culbertson & David Sanborn - The Dream Tour
Brian Culbertson: Brian began his quest in music at the age of 8 on piano, adding drums at 9, trombone at 10 then bass at 12. He grew up in Decatur, IL, loving genre-crossing jazz-pop artists such as Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears, Tower of Power, the Brecker Brothers, David Sanborn, Yellowjackets and Maynard Ferguson. So naturally gifted was Brian, his 7th grade piano recital consisted of all original tunes. Brian flourished in high school bands with his father, Jim Culbertson, as the school’s award-winning jazz band director, moved to Chicago to complete his studies at private DePaul University, then went on to compose jingles for clients such as United Airlines, Oldsmobile, Sears and McDonald’s in the bustling city’s highly competitive advertising community.

Although Culbertson has a wide spectrum of musical style, much of his music is funk based. Culbertson has released twelve albums so far. The first,"Long Night Out" 1994 was self-produced at age 20. Culbertson always brings his very best – and the very best out of others – in all of his broad-ranging musical endeavors

David Sanborn: One of the most commercially successful American saxophonists to earn prominence since the 1980s, David Sanborn has released 24 albums, won six Grammy Awards, and has had eight Gold albums and one Platinum album. Having inspired countless other musicians, Dave has worked in many genres which typically blend instrumental pop, R&B and lately, more and more traditional jazz. He released his first solo album Taking Off in 1975, but has been playing the saxophone since before he was in high school when he was inspired by the great Chicago blues artists near his hometown of St. Louis.

Having contracted polio at the age of three, Dave was introduced to the saxophone as part of his treatment therapy. By the age of 14, he was able to play with legends such as Albert King and Little Milton. Dave went on to study music at Northwestern University before transferring to the University of Iowa where he played and studied with the great saxophonist JR Monterose. Sanborn has performed on both radio and television broadcasts; he has also acted as a host and continues to be the most highly active musician of his genre. Since the late 1980s he has been a regular guest member of Paul Shaffer's band on Late Night with David Letterman.

The Hannah, S.C. native has sold more than 5 million albums and garnered numerous multi-week No. 1s ("Your Man," "Would You Go With Me," "Why Don't We Just Dance," and "All Over Me"). His debut album, Long Black Train was certified platinum for more than 1 million copies sold, and his sophomore album, Your Man, was one of only four country albums to reach double-platinum status in 2006. The debut single from his fourth album Haywire, “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” a four-week No. 1 hit was the most-played song at country radio in 2010, according to Mediabase and #3 on Billboard’s year-end Hot Country Songs list, followed immediately by “All Over Me” at No. 4. "Why Don't We Just Dance," took home an American Country Award for "Single of the Year-Male" in December of the same year.  Scoring back-to-back #1's with his second single release from Haywire, “All Over Me,” made Turner one of only seven country artists to have two No. 1 hits in 2010. Six years after his Grand Ole Opry debut, he was inducted into the prestigious organization, becoming one of the youngest artists to receive such an honor.

Turner’s fifth studio album Punching Bag is in stores now and his current tour is being sponsored by Cracker Barrel Old Country Store.

Josh uses this same approach to his career in the music industry, where many artists seem to come and go quickly. "I don't ever want to take anything for granted," he says. "I've learned from certain people that it takes a lot of hard work, passion and love for what you do to have longevity in this career."

OM Foundation was started in 2009 by Bonner Paddock, who was born with Cerebral Palsy.  OMF is committed to raising money to build “Early Learning Centers” that provide various types of therapies for children with disabilities, not just children with Cerebral Palsy.  “With our network and relationships in Central Texas it became obvious that there was an opportunity for the OM Foundation,” Paddock said.  “After our first discussion with Dell Children’s Hospital we knew that we had found the perfect partner.  We’re excited about this kick-off event, and we greatly appreciate ACL Live and Josh Turner for making this a reality.”
