(Thousand Oaks, CA) Burton Cummings, lead singer of The Guess Who and successful solo artistcomes to the Fred Kavli Theatre, Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at 7:30 pm.
Cummings is a candidate for Canada’s most beloved rock ‘n’ roll son, that rare artist who transcends time, genres, and generations with a body of work that continues to resonate with fans both old and new. As lead singer and songwriter for Canada’s original rock ‘n’ roll superstars, The Guess Who, Cummings scored an unprecedented string of international hit singles including “These Eyes,” “No Time,” and the chart-topping “American Woman.” During the course of its legendary career, the band released 11 studio albums, with 1970’s American Woman reaching No. 1 in Canada and the top 10 in the United States. The Guess Who charted more than thirty Top 40 singles in Canada along with 14 in the U.S., including “American Woman” which went all the way to No. 1.
Beginning his career as a solo artist in 1976, Cummings continued his winning streak with his RIAA Gold-certified solo debut single, “Stand Tall,”produced by legendary hitmaker Richard Perry (Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, Ringo Starr). He followed his inaugural solo success with more than a dozen hit singles and albums along with sold-out tours across Canada and the United States. Between 1977 and 1980, Cummings earned five Juno Awards for“Best MaleVocalist” and “Best Album,” serving as host of the annual Juno Awards gala a record four times. In 1978, his third solo album, Dream of a Child, became the first 4x Platinum-selling album by a Canadian artist.
Cummings stands tall as Canadian rock ‘n’ roll royalty, a living legend who remains true to himself and his own way to rock. Now, with A Few Good Moments, Cummings continues at the top of his game as performer, singer, songwriter, and recording artist.
