Savannah’s blues guitar maestro has been bending notes since the ‘90s, long before the current live music boom that makes most weekends feel like a punk-bluegrass-metal-country-hard rock-jam band-singer songwriter-jazz festival.

He’s also got a good sense of humility and humor. Several years back at a Jinx Halloween cover band show, he was a member of Huey Lewis & the Fake News. As the singer. Only the singer, no guitar. And they killed.

Of course, strapped with his hollow-body electric and backed by an airtight rhythm section, Culberson demonstrates his veteran mastery of electric blues. It’s traditional, but if there’s a geographical influence, think Albert Collins, who was born in Texas and became a legend in Chicago. Both areas are heard, along with original material, and face-melting solos.

Few players in town are in this league. Over Yonder matinees typically feature one form of country or another, so here’s an opportunity to celebrate diversity.
