The Legendary Jim Cummings has been playing bass and singing lead since he was 13, which, as you can see by the picture is a very long time!

He has toured as bassist with Gregg Allman, Odyssey, The Coasters, The Drifters, Edgar Winter, and many more. He has worked with The Beach Boys, The Tubes, Dick Wagner, Grand Funk, Alice Cooper and more.

Jim has played on hundreds of sessions and film scores, and also starred in touring productions of Jesus Christ Superstar as Jesus, Little Shop of Horrors as The Plant, Miss Saigon as the Pimp, My Favorite Year as Alan Swann, and continues to tour the country with the Jim Cummings Band.

Name a major venue from LA to NYC, and this guy has probably played it. And the list of major artists he has played with is longer than the list of venues. Yeshwua is a percussion master, and his work on stage is always a show highlight. By the end of every show, he'll have at least 10 additions to his black book!

We regret to announce that Yeshwua will not be joining us for any dates this year or the foreseeable future, due to health issues.
We miss him, and hope that he'll be back at it as soon as he is able we will not be using a substitue at this time....as there is no substitute for Yeshwua.

Dennis Burr has seen it all happen, and participated musically since the days of the Grande Ballroom, Eastown, Cobo, etc, while touring and recording with a phalanx of familiar names, hundreds of recordings, and played major venues around the world! He has worked with among many others, The Detroit Women, Dick Wagner, Wilson Pickett and many many more.
In the case of Dick Wagner, Dennis was chosen to duplicate his iconic solos in his touring band the last 5 years of Dick's life.
Dennis passed away in May 2025. He will be missed by not only us, but also his friends, family and fans all over.

Jim Bessmer was struck by lightning at age 10...which kind of sets the bar for his virtuoso guitar playing. Very few mature guitarists can match the level of proficiency that Jim exhibited.
Naming Jimi Hendrix, Allman Brothers, Jimmy Page and many more as influences, Jim toured for years throughout the country, and never stopped playing wherever and when ever he could. You were in for a treat when you watched this man wail!
Sadly, Jim passed away June 16, 2021. He will be missed by all....
