This original rockumentary adds vintage film clips and brief narrative to the live music performance by the band, authentically performing the music of the first three-time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and providing audiences with a number of  “I didn’t know that” moments throughout the evening. It’s a complete “blast from the past” experience!

Clapton is widely considered rock’s preeminent guitarist, one of the most important and influential of all time. His Hall of Fame honors came as a member of the Yardbirds and Cream and as a solo artist. Rolling Stone magazine placed him at number 2 on their list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” He’s won 18 Grammys.

Some of his best-loved songs include his version of Marley's “I Shot the Sheriff,” “Layla,” and Robert Johnson's “Crossroads.”

Justin Ploof, Jason Ploof, and Dan Ploof have many years of professional music experience and have shared the stage with the likes of Soul Asylum, Bobby Vee, Joan Jett, and Jessie Lang. Their incredible attention to detail and the quality of their musicianship wows audiences from the first chord right on through to the rousing end. Audiences hear the songs the way the artists meant for them to be performed. Guest appearances enhance the shows to the ultimate level of entertainment.
