Tickets are on sale for the second annual festival of music and wine that adds
star power and more events.
When multitalented musician Brian Culbertson announced the first Napa Valley Jazz Getaway
last New Year’s day, he didn’t imagine that the 5-day celebration of
music and wine in the Golden State’s idyllic wine country would sell out
in just one week, but that is exactly what happened. The chart-topper
and high-energy performer will again top the marquee of the 2013 edition
slated for June 5-9 that adds numerous events to the schedule and
luster to the list of performers in the form of Grammy winners Take 6, Ray Parker Jr., Norman Brown and Kirk Whalum united with Rick Braun as BWB, seminal funk outfit Larry Graham & Graham Central Station, saxophonists Eric Darius and Michael Lington, guitarist Nick Colionne, party band DW3 and special guest comedian Sinbad.
Ticket packages are currently on sale and are being made available in
four phases with priority given to returning guests.
In
June, over 1,200 attendees will again converge upon Napa Valley from
all over the nation to experience this extraordinary opportunity for
jazz and wine enthusiasts to share their common passions with their
favorite musicians. Festival goers will enjoy headline concerts at the
Napa Valley Opera House and Lincoln Theater while more intimate shows
will be held at several wineries including Silver Oak and Chimney Rock.
VIPs will be treated to a solo piano performance by Culbertson staged
in the wine cave at Miner Family Winery, which was one of the most
buzzed about shows this year. Throughout the festival, the backstage
divide is removed allowing fans to interact freely with the musicians
while dining, during wine receptions and tastings at one of the many
winery partners, at autograph sessions, a golf tournament at Silverado
Resort & Spa, and casual evening hangs at the Westin Verasa Napa for
the late night crowd. A silent auction will be held in support of
music education to benefit The GRAMMY Foundation with the hopes of far
surpassing this year’s impressive haul of over $31,000.
“Wine
and jazz have always been a perfect fit so to be able to share those
two passions of mine with people who share similar tastes is truly a
gift. Our amazing lineup for 2013 is very exciting and we’ve partnered
with some of the finest wineries and restaurants in Napa to ensure that
the music, food and wine will be first class all the way! I had a
feeling we were onto something when we created this one of a kind
getaway and the enthusiastic response from the fans far exceeded even
our own expectations. I can’t wait to welcome everyone to Napa, share
the stage with some of my good friends, and kick back with a glass of
wine while taking in the beauty of the magical Napa Valley,” said
Culbertson, the Napa Valley Jazz Getaway’s founder and artistic
director.
Through
13 solo albums and worldwide concerts tours, Culbertson has established
himself as a consistent hitmaker and a consummate entertainer, which
has made him one of the most popular artists on the contemporary jazz
scene. The award-winning multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer
distills a smooth, soul-splashed vintage of shimmering jazz, R&B
funk grooves and mellifluous adult pop. His latest collection,
“Dreams,” was released last summer and was supported by solo and
co-headline concert tours with sax legend David Sanborn.
