About the event
What happens when you mix the grit of roadhouse blues with the refined skill of a master craftsman? You get Albert Cummings. On October 17th, The Washington welcomes a guitarist whom legends like B.B. King and Buddy Guy have called one of the greats.
With a style that weds the chunky R&B of Albert King to the blistering, boundary-less improvisation of Jimi Hendrix, Cummings delivers a performance that is as powerful as it is precise. Fresh off the success of his Billboard #1 album Strong, Albert brings his soulful baritone and pyrotechnic guitar work to Burlington for a night of authentic, high-voltage blues-rock.
