Consisting Black Cream is a conglemerate of three of the best artists Memphis has to offer.
Consisting of guitarist and good soul TO Crivens, who flies high with his attention to detail during his solos; bassist Dr. Derek Brassel, who is the coolest cat in every room and unofficially the certified groove doctor; and Chris Barnes on drums and vocals, who rounds out the band with the charismatic presence of a Baptist preacher and the vocal abilities of your favorite soul crooner.
From the moment you press play or catch them live, you are in for an experience best described as a rollercoaster of nostalgic grooves with modern twists. The effortless synergy between the three prodigies is immediately heard and felt in each song.
Together this trio creates smooth like butter music that packs a soulful punch. The band is hard at work on the debut EP set to be released early 2023.
