Canadian rock legend Burton Cummings returned to the Wheat City Monday night to perform an “Unplugged” show at the Western Manitoba Centennial Auditorium.
Monday’s concert was completely sold out, with local music fans packing into the intimate venue to witness The Guess Who’s former keyboardist and vocalist perform hits such as “Hand Me Down World,” “Laughing” and “Clap for the Wolfman” alongside his current band.
Cummings is currently engaged in a string of Prairie concert dates that include performances at the Casino Regina on June 22 and the Casino Rama on July 1.
