If you’re a fan of classic rock, you’re in for a treat because Kansas City is about to host a true musical legend!

This show is guaranteed to be a memorable night filled with nostalgia, great music, and plenty of fun!
Stirring Up Memories
For those who might not know, The Guess Who was one of Canada’s most famous rock bands, especially in the late 1960s and 1970s. Cummings, the group’s lead singer, has an incredible history of performances, having played in all 50 states and various corners of the world, from Europe to Australia. “I’ve been around a bit,” Cummings mentions with a hint of nostalgia during a phone interview. He’s not just bringing his music to KC; he’s bringing stories and memories along with him!
Venue Vibes
Knuckleheads is a well-loved venue in Kansas City that has a reputation for being the Best Rock Music Club and holds several titles as the top spot for live music in the city. The atmosphere there is electrifying, and Cummings agrees, having performed there multiple times. “I love the fact that the crowd is so close to you,” he shared. It’s no wonder that every time he’s performed, he’s left the crowd—and himself—feeling satisfied. Plus, those friendly train sounds that occasionally roll by? They’re just an extra flavor that makes the experience even more unique.
What to Expect
So, what can you expect from this upcoming concert? Well, if you’re hoping to hear some of the greatest hits from The Guess Who, you’re in luck! Cummings promises to deliver all the classics we know and love. Songs like “No Sugar,” “American Woman,” and “These Eyes” will surely be part of the setlist, along with some of his solo material!

Knuckleheads provides ample parking, with dedicated lots both to the west and east of the venue, making it easy for concert-goers to plan their visit.
More Than Just a Concert
Let’s not forget about the talent opening for Cummings! The night will feature “King” Solomon Hicks, a fantastic blues and jazz artist from Harlem, who’s sure to warm the crowd before Cummings takes the stage. It’s going to be a night full of incredible music you won’t want to miss!
The Journey Continues
At 76 years old, Cummings reflects on his career with pride and gratitude. “The thing that makes me the happiest is that my songs have never gone away,” he shared. After six decades in the industry, he continues to tour, albeit at a more manageable pace than he once did. “You can’t keep up the same pace in your 70s as you did in your 20s,” he mused, but he still finds joy in every performance.
