When it comes to blues guitar, Albert Cummings is the real deal, not to mention a deeply talented frontman and singer.

Cummings performs Saturday at the Mauch Chunk Opera House in Jim Thorpe. Doors open at 7 p.m.; showtime is 8 p.m.

Cummings has opened for Johnny Winter, Sheryl Crow, B.B. King and others, and even recorded with Tommy Shannon, Chris Layton and Reese Wynans, better known as Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan's backing band.

He released his sixth album, "No Regrets," in August 2013. It debuted at No. 1 in the U.S., Canada and France on the iTunes Blues Charts and at No. 5 on the Billboard blues charts.

Tours and shows with blues legends B.B. King, the late Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy and others has brought his music to an audience rocked by a man possessed, performing every song like his life depends on it.
