About the Show

The
band Cream were one of the first rock supergroups to emerge from the
British rhythm and blues movement of the 1960s. They fused their love of
the blues with elements of pop, rock, psychedelia, folk and African
rhythms, producing an unprecedented blend of superlative songwriting
with powerful improvisation.



Now,
nearly 60 years after the trio of Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack
Bruce burst onto the global scene, the kids of one of the most iconic
bands of all time are breathing fresh life into the family legacy with
their project SONS OF CREAM, and will be on tour playing 25 shows across
the UK and USA this Summer.



Celebrating
the legendary music of their fathers, Ginger’s son Kofi Baker and
Jack’s son Malcolm Bruce are joined by Ginger's grandnephew Rob Johnson
in performing Cream classics as well as select songs from other related
bands of the period such as Blind Faith, Ginger and Eric's band with
Steve Winwood and Ric Gretch. Quite simply, it’s a not to be missed
concert of blistering Blues Rock performed by the true inheritors of
this unique and unparalleled tradition.


But
this isn’t your typical tribute act that plays the music exactly as it
was performed before. Kofi and Malcolm have inherited a unique and
multidimensional pedigree. It is purely second nature for them to dive
inside the music, bringing it alive, like a living organism, constantly
morphing into something new. This to them is what the essence of this
music contains. And although they have some pretty significant shoes to
fill, through some kind of genetic imprint, and intuitive sense, as well
as years of performing alongside their fathers themselves, they have
arrived at the true heart of what Cream’s music stands for and are truly
making it their own.



Together they are bringing to light the spirit and energy and audacity of the music of their fathers.
