And we’re adding Blind Faith’s ‘Can’t Find My Way Home’ for my dad to sing, because he used to sing it on tour with Eric.” Luckily, our current bassist, Steve Ball, plays seven instruments and has offered to play electric guitar for our San Diego show with my dad. “So, I asked my dad: ‘Hey, do you want to play the whole show?’ And he agreed. “The tour manager for The Cream of Clapton surprised me by asking: ‘Would your dad want to sit in with the band for a show one day?’ And my father happened to be free for the San Diego show, right after he gets back from Japan,” Noah said. The group kicked off its North American concert tour on April 18 in Vancouver, Canada. Noah also credits timing and luck for making Sunday’s joint San Diego concert with his band and his father possible. “My dad has taught me gratitude and about always having a consistent work ethic.” Cream of the crop

“It’s truly a blessing to do what we do,” he said. Noah, who is now working on a duo album with his father, concurred. “When you put it all that way, there is a cosmic element that the universe has presented this situation,” Nathan, 67, said, in a joint interview from Tokyo with his son.

The chances these two musicians from the same family would have a Clapton-fueled convergence on stage, in San Diego, are beyond slim.ĭitto the fact this convergence will be in the same city where Nathan graduated in 1978 from the University of California San Diego. He now performs nightly some of the same classic Cream and Clapton solo songs, including “Sunshine of Your Love” and “Wonderful Tonight,” his father grew up playing - and continues to play on tour with Clapton.
