Band to pay tribute to Cream

NEWTON — Cream was a chemical explosion like no other, the blueprint for every supergroup to follow and the heavy blues precursor to Hendrix, Zeppelin and so much more.
Fifty years since their earth-shaking debut album, the bloodlines of that hallowed trilogy come together to pay tribute to Cream's legendary four-album reign over the psychedelic frontier of the late 1960s.
Kofi Baker (son of Ginger) and Malcolm Bruce (son of Jack) unite with Will Johns (Eric's nephew by Marriage and son of Zeppelin/Stones/Hendrix engineer Andy) to unleash the lightning that electrified a generation. Feel the fire and the freedom of "Spoonful", "Strange Brew", "Sunshine of Your Love", "White Room", "Crossroads" and "Badge" — performed by master musicians whose lives have been steeped in the Cream spirit and legacy.
Experience a once-in-a-lifetime concert salute to the most innovative and explosive supergroup of all time, in the hands of those that knew them best. Watch as they interplay live with their fathers on the big screen and listen as they share personal insights and stories, complete with rare, yet to be seen family footage and photographs.
Music of Cream performs Friday, March 22, at 8 p.m. at The Newton Theatre, 234 Spring Street in Newton, N.J. Tickets start at $34 and are available for purchase at The Newton Theatre box office, online at www.TheNewtonTheatre.com, or by calling 973-940-NEWT.
