SONS OF CREAMThe 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.
