Burton Cummings & His Band Unplugged

Manitoba music legend Burton Cummings will perform two one-of-a-kind concerts at his namesake venue, the Burton Cummings Theatre, on Dec. 28 and 31: up-close and unplugged show on Dec. 28; Burton’s Birthday Bash on Dec. 31.

The Dec. 28 concert will be an up-close and unplugged performance for fans as they experience the iconic Winnipeg-born singer/songwriter and his band as never before in an acoustic and intimate setting.

These shows represent Cummings’ enduring commitment to seeing this historic theatre remain an integral part of Winnipeg’s downtown entertainment scene. Proceeds from the concerts will go toward the continued rejuvenation of the building that has been a gathering spot for the community since 1907.

THE STUDIO LOUNGE

A new event space titled “The Studio Lounge” will officially open for the Dec. 28 and Dec. 31 concerts, featuring memorabilia from Cummings’ own collection, including hand-written music sheets, awards, photos and instruments. A focal point of the lounge will be the piano he learned to play on in his childhood home.

For a limited time, the public will be welcome to visit the new space free of charge on Dec. 28 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and Dec. 29 through 31 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Following these days, The Studio Lounge will be open to Burton Cummings Theatre event ticketholders and rentals of the lounge space.
