Acorn Live Stream: Bryan Lubeck Hosts Christmas at The Acorn

Saturday, Dec. 12 | 8:00pm ET (7:00pm CT)

Bryan Lubeck received an email out of the blue from Rick O’Dell, one of the most respected contemporary on-air personalities and radio programmers in the country. Attached was O’Dell’s famous Top 20 list of holiday albums of all time. In the Top 10 was Bryan’s album We Three Strings with the likes of Mannheim Steamroller, The Carpenters, Dave Coz, and Mariah Carey. Since then Bryan’s career has blossomed with his latest album Tuscan Sky which has spent more than 14 weeks on the various adult contemporary instrumental charts. Still his holiday CD receives regular radio play and his version of The First Noel earned him a "Critic's Choice" in the industry leading Billboard Magazine. His on air radio play is always in the top 20 on Sirius/XM with three songs played on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on their contemporary jazz stations last year -- prime spots for an artist of any caliber. Bryan has recorded with five Grammy Award winners and performed with 12 Grammy Award nominees and winners. Live shows are his forte with his high-energy, fiery Spanish guitar and smooth urban grooves along with an ability to connect with an audience like no other.
