New England’s own Albert Cummings first picked up the guitar after hearing the music of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. Struck with inspiration, he poured himself into the blues, and soon found a home in the circuit with his band, Swamp Yankee. A chance encounter with Stevie Ray’s band, Double Trouble, led to Albert recording with his heroes in Austin Texas. In 2003 Albert Cummings and Double Trouble released From The Heart; Cummings’ first solo record.

He’s since released three more albums, and shared the stage with such heroes and legends as B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Charlie Musselwhite, John Hammond, Susan Tedeschi, Tommy Castro, The Neville Brothers, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Sheryl Crow, and Duke Robillard.
