Cheersquad Records & Tapes is proud to announce the release of Stephen Cummings' new album '100 Years from Now'. Stephen Cummings of course needs no introduction to Australian music fans - the Countdown Award and ARIA Award-winning singer and songwriter has had a long, productive, creative and distinguished career since his days up front of Sports in the late '70s and '80s.
What does need an introduction however is the fact that in March 2020, Stephen suffered a life changing stroke and this new album is the product of that event and the enthusiastic support he received creating it from the Melbourne music community.
'100 Years from Now' is a record of beauty, of humanity, and of unflinching honesty. And gorgeous musicality. Recorded and mixed with long time collaborators guitarist and producer Robert Goodge (Essendon Airport and I'm Talking) and producer and engineer Simon Polinksi (Steve Kilbey, Ollie Olsen).
The album is a collection of co-writes that put Cummings' post-stroke physical condition to the fore, both musically and lyrically. The effect of Stephen's stroke on his singing adds a layer of bittersweet heartbreak to his already emotive style.
