Doug and Diane recently got to fulfill their dream of interviewing a legendary musician as they sat down and chatted with Burton Cummings … vocalist, keyboardist, and primary songwriter for the chart-topping ’60s/’70s rock band – The Guess Who! A gifted and prolific songwriter and musician, Cummings crafted massive hit singles like "American Woman," "These Eyes," "Laughing," and many more—songs that have stood the test of time and continue to resonate across generations.
Cummings embarked on a very fruitful solo career following his tenure with the band and is now currently on his solo 60th Anniversary Hits Tour. The tour started last year and will span a large portion of 2025 – stopping in Red Bank, NJ on March 18th at the Basie Center for the Arts.
With over thirty (30) – yes, you heard that correctly – thirty albums and dozens of Top 10 hits, we realized immediately that Burton is living his absolute best life and has no intention of slowing down. Filled with joy from playing with his band of 20+ years and by the positive reactions he receives daily from his fans, the Canadian musician promises there is much more music to come.
During our podcast, we learned about Burton’s childhood; the many iconic musicians he’s met and played with; his songwriting methods; and even some advice he has for vocalists about keeping their voices in tip-top shape.
You will NOT be disappointed if you tune in and listen to this gem of a conversation where you’ll hear super interesting stories and nuggets of information about this iconic frontman and solo artist. You will also be left with a smile on your face because of the pure joy Burton exudes, which we found to be thoroughly contagious!
Join us on March 18th as we soak up the talent and energy of Burton Cummings at the Count Basie Center for the Arts! Tickets can be found here!
