The Arcada Theater in St. Charles will present Sons of Cream on Friday, February 21, at 8pm. (Doors open at 7pm)
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.
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.
Tickets start at $39 and are available here.
The Aracada Theatre is located at 105 East Main Street in St. Charles.
