The Winnipeg-born, Saskatchewan-based favourite is currently on tour across Canada, with a stop this weekend in Victoria.
Tickets: $65-$85 from the Royal McPherson box office or rmts.bc.caBurton Cummings has led a storybook life. Millions in record sales. Yet more millions in earnings. The Order of Canada, a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, and induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
The unplugged tour got underway Wednesday in New Westminster, and moved over to Vancouver Island for a stop Thursday in Campbell River. Cummings also performs Sunday in Victoria at the Royal Theatre and Monday in Nanaimo at the Port Theatre. The latter hit appeared on his 1978 solo album, Dream of a Child, which at the time of its release was the most successful album in Canada to that point. Its sales were equal to one in every 50 people in Canada owning a copy of the record.
Canada has been a consistent presence in Cummings’s life, with his native Winnipeg playing a central role. He no longer maintains a residence there, but celebrated his 75th birthday in Winnipeg with a New Year’s Eve concert staged at the Burton Cummings Theatre, of all places.
