Eric Patrick Clapton was born on March 30, 1945 in Surrey, England. Clapton was raised in a musical household, as his grandmother played piano and his uncle and mother enjoyed listening to the popular music of the time. For his thirteenth birthday, Clapton received a Hoyer steel string guitar, which he began playing incessantly. He became interested in the Blues after hearing the music of American artists like Freddie King, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Buddy Guy.
At 18, Clapton was recruited to join The Yardbirds with Keith Relf and Paul Samwell-Smith, where he stayed for eighteen months. With The Yardbirds, Clapton recorded his first albums, titled Five Live Yardbirds and Sonny Boy Williamson and The Yardbirds. After leaving the band in 1965, he joined up with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. The Bluesbreakers recorded the now classic Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton in 1966, but Clapton soon left the group to form his own band, which he named Cream. Cream consisted of Eric Clapton on guitar and vocals, Jack Bruce on bass and vocals, and Ginger Baker on drums. They produced a number of albums including Fresh Cream, Disraeli Gears, and the U.S. chart topping Wheels of Fire. Cream lasted two years before breaking up. After the short-lived Blind Faith, Clapton formed Derek and the Dominoes. The band's greatest hit was the classic "Layla," in 1970, but despite the success it dissolved soon after.
Due to the breakup of Derek and the Dominoes, the death of Jimi Hendrix, and other tragic events, Clapton sank into three years of drug addiction. He re-emerged in 1973 and began a solo career that has lasted for over forty years. Some of the most notable material from this period in Clapton's career includes 1974's chart topping 461 Ocean Boulevard, the 1977 triple platinum ranking Slow Hand, 1983's Money and Cigarettes, the 1994 #1 and triple platinum album From the Cradle, and 2005's Back Home. Clapton has also collaborated with numerous other artists, including The Beatles, Frank Zappa, Pete Townshend, Elton John, Jeff Beck and Bob Marley.
Recently, Clapton has been known for his two-person tours, particularly with Beck and Winwood, and in 2010 Clapton with tour with both. Choose TicketNetwork and receive discounts on Eric Clapton tickets and find great seats for the Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton & Jeff Beck concerts.
