Three relatives of Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton will hit the road together to mark the 50th anniversary of pioneering psychedelic rock trio Cream’s farewell tour. Dubbed the “Music Of Cream Tour”, the outing will swing through much of Canada and the United States this fall.
Ginger Baker’s son, Kofi Baker, Jack Bruce’s son, Malcolm Bruce, and Eric Clapton’s former nephew by marriage, Will Johns (the nephew of Patty Boyd and son of famed English producer Andy Johns) will join forces for the outing, which will kick off over a year after the trio embarked on a similar tour through the Australia and New Zealand. According to a press release, the group will perform Cream classics while backed by big screen footage and photos from the iconoclastic rock band’s heyday.
“We had such an amazing response to our first tour in Australia and New Zealand that we’ve spent some considerable time adding to the show,” Bruce, whose father would have turned 75 years old today, said in a press release. “Now, we not only have this amazing legacy of music to play, but an opportunity to share some wonderful insights and stories with our audience. A backstage pass like no other, if you will.”
“We also have a few surprises in store that we know people are going to really respond to, so we can’t wait to be on the road again playing these shows across North America this fall,” added Baker, who toured with his father for many years and used to lead a Cream tribute project called the Kofi Baker Cream Experience.
According to the tour’s website, fans can expect to hear Cream favorites like “Spoonful”, “Strange Brew”, “Sunshine of Your Love”, “White Room”, “Crossroads”, and “Badge” during the Music of Cream Tour. Tickets information for the shows can be found via the tour’s website.
