CONWAY — The Dark Train Express trio (Chad Cummings, Eben Eastman and Ben Wiggin) will play a spirited hour of Cummings’ pop/rock/jazz fusion originals at noon on Friday, July 1, with open seating in the spacious and well-ventilated Majestic Theatre on Main Street in Conway.

Cummings, vocals and guitar, has taught guitar, bass and piano at Mountain Top Music Center since soon after the school’s beginning in 1996. His many students include Riley Parkhurst, a frequent performer in the area and a recent graduate of Berklee School of Music in Boston; Rafe Matregrano, a fixture of the valley music scene; and Willow Carter, 2022 winner of WMWV’s “Song of the Year,” who will start at Berklee in the fall. Cummings’ theory-based approach to music instruction has benefited scores of others over the years.
