Burton Cumming and his Band: 60th Anniversary Tour

Details

Burton Cummings transcends time, genres, and generations with a body of work that continues to resonate with fans old and new. His voice has been rated among the finest in rock music. He continues at the top of his game as performer, singer, songwriter, and recording artist.

As lead singer and songwriter for Canada’s original rock ‘n’ roll superstars, The Guess Who, Burton scored an unprecedented string of international hit singles and albums including “American Woman,” “These Eyes,” “Laughing,” “No Time,” “Share the Land,” “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature,” and others, all written or co-written by Burton. By 1970, The Guess Who had sold more records than the entire Canadian music industry before breaking up in 1975.

The group achieved a long list of firsts, including first Canadian group to reach #1 on the Billboard charts - holding that spot for three weeks - and first to earn a platinum album for U.S. sales of more than one million copies. Rolling Stone magazine hailed The Guess Who as “one of rock’s most consistently fascinating maverick bands” with a succession of songs “that has few equals among contemporary North American groups.” Dick Clark described the group as rock innovators and ambassadors of Canadian music.
