“A barrage of guitar pyrotechnics that calls to mind a grand mix of the styles of past masters like Albert King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Hendrix. - Bluesprint Magazine

It’s been said that you don’t seek out the blues – it seeks out you. For guitar virtuoso Albert Cummings, no words could ring more true. Cummings’ masterful guitar wizardry has drawn comparisons to iconic axe legends Albert King, Freddie King, Jimi Hendrix and even his own musical inspiration, Stevie Ray Vaughan. He has graced the stage with such esteemed luminaries as Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, Susan Tedeschi, Sheryl Crow, and B.B. King, who called Cummings “a great guitarist.” He also has worked with renowned industry producers Jim Gaines and David Z.

Albert's 2024 release, "Strong," brought him together with Grammy-winning producer, Tom Hambridge. Recorded at Nashville's famed Ocean Way recording studio, the album blends blues, rock & soul with the raw emotion and guitar-driven energy that has defined his career, and reached #1 on Billboard's Blues Album Sales Chart.

“The blues is best served up live, with an enthusiastic audience and a killin’ band, and that’s exactly what Albert Cummings does… effortlessly shifting from chimney subdued stylings to raucous roadhouse raunch to soaring yet stinging lead lines, driving his audience to frenzy in all the right places.” - Guitar Edge Magazine

"His muscular guitar work is simply outstanding." - Rock & Blues Muse
