In the wake of settling that trademark dispute with his former Guess Who bandmates, Burton Cummings has even more reasons to celebrate: he's gearing up to release a new album and embarking on a North American headline tour, which includes Canadian concerts in Windsor, Enoch, Tsuut'ina, Regina, Niagara Falls, Moncton and Winnipeg.
A Few Good Moments arrives September 27 through Jojo Productions as Cummings's first new solo album in over a decade, featuring a co-write with Bryan Adams' right-hand man Jim Vallance ("Up to the Minute") and a cover of Arc Angels' "Shape I'm In."
"The songs on this album took a while to become the proper collection," the singer-songwriter explained in a statement. "I believe in these songs because they are the result of having lived more years. At this point I have no interest in writing teenage love songs. Aging has changed the writing and that's natural. I believe in these songs and I hope that the people who have followed my material enjoy them. I want this album to stand up when it's listened to years from now."
Kicking off tonight with a festival set at Deadwood Jam 2024, the 60th Anniversary Hits tour will have Cummings on the road through next March. He'll play his first show in his home country on October 18 in Windsor with more Canadian gigs to follow in Enoch (November 1), Tsuut'ina (November 3), Regina (November 4), Niagara Falls (November 8) and Moncton (December 28), as well as back-to-back hometown gigs at the Club Regent Event Centre in Winnipeg on December 30 and 31.
