This unique project began in 2017 with a handful of concerts celebrating the 50th anniversary of 'The Cream' in Australia and New Zealand.
Hennepin Theatre Trust announced that The Music of Cream will visit the historic Pantages Theatre (710 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis) on Saturday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. Cream was a chemical explosion like no other, the blueprint for every super group to follow and the heavy blues precursor to Hendrix, Zeppelin and many more.

This unique project began in 2017 with a handful of concerts celebrating the 50th anniversary of 'The Cream' in Australia and New Zealand. Such was the response, the show was thereafter seen hundreds of times, by tens of thousands of fans, across North America and the U.K, many selling out!
For 2022 and beyond, The Music of Cream hit the road with a new show honoring the original band's landmark recording of Disraeli Gears. Concerts will feature the album performed in its entirety during the first set, followed by a second with the hits and rarities from Eric Clapton, Blind Faith and Cream.
The Music of Cream continues to feature family members Kofi Baker (son of Ginger) on drums and Will Johns (Clapton's nephew and son of Zeppelin/ Stones engineer Andy) on guitar and vocals. Along with the legendary music, the show features storytelling, photographs and integrated videos, many of which have not been seen before, so that even the most diehard fans are guaranteed a night to remember.
