Kofi Baker and a Cream Tribute

An Original Cream Tribute Band

As the son of legendary icon Ginger Baker, Kofi Baker has a name that's synomymous with drumming excellence. And Kofi lives up to his name; with his outstanding skills, drive, and dedication he continues the great Baker legacy. Kofi's first live performance was with his father on the UK television show "The Old Grey Whistle Test" - at just six years of age he proved he had inherited more than just his father's name. Kofi was inspired to start a band of his own after seeing a Cream Reunion in 2005.

Pressed Rat and Warthog

Kofi Baker, following in the family tradition, displays a mastery of technique and groove thar rivals that of his father, Ginger Baker. Kofi's band Pressed Rat & Warthog is the ultimate Cream tribute: Combining Cream's innovative and experimental style with consummate skill. The dynamic three-piece -- Kofi Baker, Fran Banish, and Ric Fierabracci -- effectively capture Cream's mood and energy, adding their own distinctive styles. Front man Fran sings and solos with virtuoso ease; Ric lays down strong and innovative bass lines complimenting Kofi's complex poly-rhythms, learned from his father.

London, England (1966 – 1968)

Cream was a 1960's three-piece British band consisting of bassist & lead vocalist Jack Bruce, guitarist & vocalist Eric Clapton, and drummer Ginger Baker, having formed in London, England. The members of the band were already established musicians, said by some to be the "cream of the crop" of their respective instruments. They were known as one of the first great power trios and super groups of rock. Their sound was characterized by a hybrid of blues, hard rock and psychedelic rock. Cream combined Clapton’s blues guitar playing with the powerful and airy voice and intense bass lines of Jack Bruce and the manic drumming of Ginger Baker. They have sold over 35 million albums worldwide. Their psychedelic blues-rock is best remembered through classics like "Sunshine of your Love" and "White Room".
