    The Levoy Theatre presents Sons of Cream

    (MILLVILLE, NJ) -- The Levoy Theatre presents Sons of Cream on Tuesday, March 3, 2026 at 7:30pm. This is a powerhouse blues-rock trio that bridges past and present, blending musical heritage with bold creative energy. Led by Kofi Baker (son of legendary drummer Ginger Baker) and Malcolm Bruce (son of Cream bassist/vocalist Jack Bruce), with guitarist/vocalist Rob Johnson, the group resurrects the spirit of Cream — not as a straight tribute, but as a living continuation of its legacy.
