Blues legend who's played with B.B. King & Buddy Guy returns to our stage for two-night album release run after his sold-out 2023 show!

Albert Cummings is a legendary blues guitarist who's played with the best, including B.B. King, Johnny Winter and Buddy Guy, and recorded with Blind Pig Records for two decades. A self-taught musician from an early age (including banjo,) it was a 1987 concert by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble that opened Cummings to a new world of modern blues and inspired him to take up the guitar. Cummings never looked back. In fact, his very first album FROM THE HEART (2003) was produced by Double Trouble’s Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon and included the group’s Reese Wynans on keyboards. He recorded several albums for Blind Pig Records, and on 2012’s NO REGRETS the guitarist extended the boundaries outside the blues world to include country and rock influences like he really hadn’t before, seeing a wider possibility for where his music could go. With its release on Cummings’ own indie label imprint, Ivy Music Company, TEN is a full realization of that possibility.

Tonight's show will be an album release for “Strong” due out on Feb 16, 2024 on Ivy Music.

See him live at Almost Famous Wine Lounge, an award-winning, new tasting room and venue located on Vasco Road in the heart of Livermore's wine, spirits and brewery district. Almost Famous Wine makes fifteen wines in diverse styles, and earned over 50 top industry awards since our debut in 2021.
