* KOFI BAKER’S CREAM FAITH
https://kofibaker.com/
Drum Master Kofi Baker tapped the musical legacy created by his father when forming his latest project, Kofi Baker’s Cream Faith. Kofi’s father Ginger Baker was the drumming force behind the legendary bands Cream and Blind Faith. After a trip to see his Dad play Madison Square Garden NYC during Cream’s 2005 reunion, Kofi decided a tribute project was in order. Taught by his father at an early age and having toured Europe with Steve Marriott (Humble Pie) and Jack Bruce (Cream bassist, vocalist), Kofi used first hand experience and the influence of his godfather Eric Clapton, to assemble a band that re-ignites such classic songs as White Room, Crossroads, Sunshine Of Your Love, I’m So Glad, and Badge, among others. Audiences have been blown away by Kofi’s tribute and the band’s ability to evoke the sound and spirit of the era, with a contemporary and spontaneous twist.
