Albert Cummings (Page 2 of 4)

Got to witness the great Albert Cummings in action this past Saturday at the Big Bull Falls Blues Festival in Wausau, Wisconsin. The band comprised now of Albert Cummings on lead guitar and vocals, Karl Allweier on bass and backing vocals and Conor Meehan on drums, blew the crowd away with some fabulous Blues/Rock music. Later on that night, Albert and Band stopped by The Intermission which is a club in downtown Wausau to check out Aaron Williams and the Hoodoo who were performing. Both Karl and Conor even got in on some of the action! Here are the pictures from the Blues Festival and you might note, the first two are of Aaron Williams and Albert. Aaron and his band mates stopped by the Blues Festival to watch Albert perform. All three guys, Aaron, Eric and Zac, are big fans of his.

I hate to say this now, but I sure wish you all could have been there to see this show. It's the best I've ever heard or seen Albert perform and THAT'S saying a lot!!! Videos will follow...eventually.

Roy sounds like you been having some great music in dem der parts!One suggestion they should change the name of the fest to The Blue Cheese Festival lol

You're most welcome Cathy! While I was listening I thought to myself, "Now who would want to hear Albert?", and your name immediately came to mind! I would have called "The General" too, but I don't have Bob's number. Wait until you hear their set, it was Smokin'! They played for 90 minutes and then the crowd demanded they come back for an encore. They didn't play "Barrel House Blues", but had some new songs that were equally as good! As I said before, this is the best he's sounded. After the show we were talking and I asked how the home building business has been going. He said good, but also told me that THIS, meaning music, is really where his heart is. I'll also say (announce?) this...Albert said he's been working on a new album and hopes to have it out early next year. He's not finished with it yet and the album is still untitled, but he did tell me it's going to be a "Killer"! Needless to say, I can't wait until that one comes out!!!

Güenter, I really love you man!  Roy, you've got me hankering for an Albert show big time. I wonder if he still plays Revolution Hall in Troy, NY (where he started)? Ouch, that thought just made me realize it has been almost 5 years!  
When housing markets are stale......let's get some fresh music!!!

Thanks Roy!! My bad..Albert plays Sunday afternoon. I'm hoping the hurricane has diverted east by then, but the rain won't stop me!!!!   C

I dig Albert, but he needs to spread his wings a little futher and more often. I can relate though, being a contractor is a hectic enough lifestyle let alone trying to maintain a music career on top of it.

Hey, I resemble that remark Rick!  

From what I remember of the show, I believe the best is yet to come!

Roy

I'll bet you'll be right Gary. When Albert told me about it, he had a little twinkle in his eyes. That's always a good sign of things to come!

Anyway, here's four more from this past Saturday, hope you all enjoy them!
