Christopher Allen Thomas Cummings (born August 11, 1975) is a Canadian country music artist.
In 1990, Chris released an independent CD, which found its way to Reprise Records president Jim Ed Norman, who signed him on in 1992.
Produced by Jim Ed Norman and Rick Scott, Chris released his debut CD, Somewhere Inside, on June 18, 1996.
He continued his string of hits in Canada with songs like "Cowboy Hats," "Betty," and "Benefit Of Doubt."
Chris had a hand in producing the album, which brought him back to the Canadian top 30 with the songs "Dixie Beauxderaunt," "For The Music," "Love Is Fine," "In The Nicest Way," and the last single, "Hey What You Know" released in July 2008.
Returning to his home Province of New Brunswick in mid-2007 after being gone since the age of 17 living in California, Tennessee, Ontario and Alberta, he took on a special project.
Chris partnered with a local organization to record the John Sebastian hit "Welcome Back", a song that Cummings saw as a perfect "anthem" for the city and entire Province of New Brunswick.
Released at the same time as the new CD, the follow-up single "Leavings Not An Option" had special meaning for Chris as he co-wrote it with one of his long-time songwriting mentors Don Schlitz (one of three Schlitz co-writes on the new CD), the single was well received at radio returning Chris to the forefront of the Canadian country music scene.
