Coming off a sold-out stint in Las Vegas, Burton Cummings (www.burtoncummings.com) legendary rocker and former frontman for The Guess Who is bringing his celebrated show to Chicago's City Winery Wednesday, May 28 and Thursday, May 29, at 8 p.m.

City Winery Chicago is located at 1200 W. Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60607. Tickets are on sale now and priced between $45 - $65 (http://www.citywinery.com/chicago/tickets/burton-cummings-5-28.html).

Cummings just announced he will compile a monthly playlist for music service aggregator bop.fm, starting with his second playlist titled "Journey For a Memorable Friday Evening." Fans can stream the "Journey For a Memorable Friday Evening" Playlist at http://bop.fm/p/OPEG.

Burton is also performing at the Rock The Park music festival at Harris Park in London, ON, on Saturday, July 26, sharing the bill with such great artists as Sammy Hagar & Friends, Huey Lewis and The News, and Weezer.

Burton recently played to sold-out audiences on Jan. 17 and Jan. 18 at The Orleans Hotel and Casino for his first-ever headline shows in Las Vegas. Cummings and his explosive five-piece band were rewarded with numerous standing ovations at The Orleans Showroom. Cummings warmed up with a similarly sold out solo performance Jan. 15 at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert.

Years after Cummings joined The Guess Who as keyboardist and lead vocalist, the charismatic performer is still rocking his best loved classics, "These Eyes," "American Woman," "Undun," "No Time" and "Share The Land" and his renowned solo hit "Stand Tall" among countless others on tour every year across the U.S. and his native Canada, where the legendary band was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

Enthusiastic, creative and fully embracing social media to stay in day to day touch with several generations of fans, Cummings is encouraging his loyal fans to share photos and videos from all of his concerts on his new real-time website.

The site has been filling up quickly with live performance photos and videos (from recent shows and over the years) via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. Photos and videos are displayed in real time on the home page of BurtonCummings.com, creating an exciting sense of immediacy and community among excited fans.
