Cream Camino is a dynamic alt-rock band hailing from Ohio's capital city and recognized as one of the most compelling live music acts in the Midwest. Formed in 2012 by Jeff Manning (vocals/guitar) and Jon Gunder (drums), the pair quickly became infatuated with the idea of making great music. Their album ‘Dames & Disbelief’ was recorded with the intentions of bringing Jeff’s creations to fruition. In 2017 Jarrod Pinkerton (bass) joined the ranks making Cream Camino a three-piece. Jarrod was an integral missing piece that allowed Cream Camino the ability to perform the song creations that better portrayed the recorded versions and allowed them to take this project to a new level. Over the next few years, the trifecta released ‘Dames & Disbelief’ globally, created EP ‘Closer to the Bridges’, along with singles ‘Riders on the River’ and ‘Here’s to the Beast’.
Near the end of 2021, JC Young (guitar), joined Cream Camino - making it possible to provide the fullest sound that had been demonstrated on their first studio album. Now a four-piece, Cream Camino and the "The Gentlemen of Rock" as Jeff, Jon, Jarrod, & JC are known as, uniquely blend iconic cover songs, radio worthy original tunes, and top 40 medleys that leave an audience excited and mesmerized.
Quickly gaining an audience and a name for themselves playing fairs and festivals, rock radio events, and summer concert series, Cream Camino has toured all over the Midwest and the east coast opening for national acts such as Halestorm at the Delaware State Fair, Quiet Riot, Orianthi, Firehouse, and Jack Russell’s Great White.
Influenced by rock legends such as Roger Waters, Jimi Hendrix, and John Bonham, illustrate the powerhouse sounds Cream Camino strives to achieve with every note. Their lively performances mixes in unforgettable original songs that quickly become an ear-worm, alongside cover songs played in a way that makes you feel like you’re hearing the song for the first time again. Guarantee you'll be left remembering their name.
