DISCOGRAPHY 1999-2024 (15CD)
BIOGRAPHY
Cummings started playing the five-string banjo at the age of twelve
when his father's guitar was too big for his hands, and started
learning basic chords and progressions. He later transitioned to
playing guitar, being especially influenced in his college years by
Stevie Ray Vaughan.
In 1998, he walked into a Northeast Blues Society open jam, which led
to Cummings’ winning the right to compete in the Blues Foundation’s
1999 International Blues Challenge.
His first public guitar performance came in 1997, when he played at a
wedding reception. In his late twenties he formed a band, Swamp Yankee,
and in 1999 released an independently produced album, The Long Way. The
trio spent two hours in a recording studio to record the nine songs for
the album.
His next recording, 2003 From the Heart, was issued as an album with
Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon, known as being part of Stevie Ray
Vaughan's backing rhythm section. Serving as the album's producers, they
also arranged a deal to ensure wider distribution.....
