SUMMARY:Albert Cummings with special guest Maple Road Blues
DESCRIPTION:Albert Cummings is an American blues guitarist\, singer\, and songwriter whose commanding guitar work and soulful vocals have made him a standout in the contemporary blues scene. Born and raised in Massachusetts\, Cummings developed a deep passion for music at an early age\, beginning on the banjo and bluegrass before being captivated by the electric blues influences of legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan\, B.B. King\, and Jimi Hendrix. \nAlthough trained as a builder and master carpenter\, Cummings’ musical path took shape with his first public blues performance in the late 1990s and his debut album\, The Long Way\, released independently in 2000 with his band Swamp Yankee. His dynamic fusion of blues\, rock\, and storytelling soon drew attention. When members of Vaughan’s former rhythm section—bass legend Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton—volunteered to play on his 2003 solo debut From the Heart\, the blues world took notice. \nSigning with the revered blues label Blind Pig Records\, Cummings released albums such as True to Yourself (2004) and Working Man (2006)\, the latter cementing his reputation as a touring force and recording artist of significant range and impact. Over the years\, he has shared stages with blues luminaries such as B.B. King\, Johnny Winter\, and Buddy Guy\, further broadening his musical reach. \nIn his later work\, Cummings continues to evolve. Albums like Believe (2020) and TEN (2022) showcase a deeper sonic palette while remaining rooted in the soul of the blues. His most recent release\, Strong (2024)\, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart\, further underscoring his status as a modern torchbearer for the genre and a master craftsman of heartfelt\, high-energy blues. \nMaple Road Blues Band:\nBy presenting an eclectic blend of blues\, rock\, and folk jams\, Maple Road is a band that does not fall short of keeping an audience entertained and intrigued.  While honoring musical heroes and legends\, the group also strives to craft original and memorable tunes that allow each band member and the audience to interpret the music. \nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have tickets ready upon arrival.
