Craig Cummings

Craig Cummings is a celebrated singer/songwriter who performs throughout the mid-Atlantic region. His country-tinged, Americana portraits are infused with a pop sensibility, born of many years listening to chart topping stalwarts such as The Beatles and Willie Nelson, and more recently, Jason Isbell, Lucinda Williams, and Chris Stapleton. His 2019 release, Absolute Surprise, was voted a finalist for Best Americana/
Country Album by the Washington Area Music Association (The Wammies) and reached #29 on the national Roots Music Chart.

Craig’s fifth release , The Gulf Between Us (March 2021), features songs that explore
the barriers that keep us apart – our social and political views; the challenges of a global pandemic; an economic system that divides the rich from the poor; the demise of romantic relationships and those we love. And on his 6th release (Love In The Time Of Chaos), he explores the confluence of love and fear with his observations about the chaotic times in which we live.

These are heady themes that match the seriousness of our times, but Craig’s upbeat musical accompaniment suggests that difficult topics can still be joyously explored. Craig’s approach is observational. He invites the listener to peer into the personal lives of his characters and consider how the insights gained might make us better people.

With each new release, Craig continues to show why he is among the most accomplished singer/songwriters to come out of the mid-Atlantic region.
