The Musicians

Jack Bruce (1943–2014) was the bassist, vocalist, and primary songwriter of Cream — the power trio he formed with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker in 1966. His bass playing and voice were central to some of the most celebrated rock recordings of the late 1960s, including 'Sunshine Of Your Love', 'White Room', and 'I Feel Free', all of which featured in the All-Starr Band setlist.

Dave Edmunds was a Welsh rock musician and producer whose career spanned rockabilly, pub rock, and new wave. His hits included 'I Hear You Knocking' (1970) and 'I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock 'N' Roll)' (1977). He had a long association with Nick Lowe and the Brinsley Schwarz circle.

Eric Carmen was the former lead singer of the Raspberries and a successful solo artist, known for 'All By Myself' (1975) and 'Hungry Eyes' (1987, from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack). His 'Go All The Way' (1972) with the Raspberries was one of the great power pop singles of the era.

Simon Kirke was the drummer of Free and later Bad Company. Free's 'All Right Now' (1970) — which Kirke performed in the All-Starr Band set — is one of the most enduring rock singles of the era.

Mark Rivera has been a fixture of the All-Starr Band across multiple lineups, serving as musical director and multi-instrumentalist.
