The family business, in this case, is one of the most famous rhythm sections in rock history. On a Sunday night in April, it comes to a 300-seat room on West Street.

Sons of Cream play Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on Sunday, April 25, 2027, at 8 p.m. The date was announced Oct. 26, and tickets are through AXS, where the bill reads Sons of Cream featuring Kofi Baker and Malcolm Bruce, with special guest Rob Johnson. Rams Head has the show on its own event page.

The names explain the pitch. Kofi Baker is the son of drummer Ginger Baker, and Malcolm Bruce is the son of bassist and singer Jack Bruce, the two Cream members whose sons front this project. Sons of Cream have been touring the U.S. with Cream's catalog for a while now, with a 2024 run built around celebrating that music and a Half and Half Tour on the road in 2026.

What is new is that they are no longer just a tribute. Marshall Records has announced *Half And Half*, the debut album from Sons of Cream, out Jan. 15, 2027. The title is literal: six Cream covers and six originals. That split is likely to show up in the setlist, too, which gives the Annapolis show a reason to exist beyond nostalgia. You will get the songs you came for, and you will get a look at what two second-generation players sound like writing their own.

Six Cream covers, six originals: the new album's title is a fair preview of the night.

The album launches an early-2027 U.S. run that Blabbermouth reported opens Jan. 14 at City Winery in Nashville, with stops in Asheville, Charleston and Fort Lauderdale soon after. Annapolis falls months later, in late April, which means by the time they reach Rams Head the new songs will have had a full winter on the road to settle in.

Rams Head On Stage holds 300, a size that suits this kind of show. A Sunday night in a seated room is the right setting for a band whose appeal is partly musicianship and partly lineage: you want to be close enough to watch the drummer's hands.

Tickets are on AXS now. For a 300-capacity room and a name this recognizable to classic-rock fans around the Bay, waiting until spring is a gamble. Put *Half And Half* on in January, then make a Sunday of it in April.
