“Clapton Is Godfrey” - a premier tribute concert celebrating the legendary music of Eric
Clapton, is led by acclaimed guitarist and vocalist Godfrey Townsend. After its inception in
2000, it became the longest-running and most successful show at B.B. King’s Blues Club in
NYC’s Times Square, captivating audiences for nearly two decades.

With a storied career working extensively with over 50 major artists—including The Who’s
John Entwistle, Jack Bruce of Cream, The Alan Parsons Project and as musical director for
The Happy Together Tour for the past 15 years, Townsend brings authenticity and passion to
the classic rock genre in every performance.

Godfrey is widely recognized for his uncanny ability to capture Clapton’s iconic sound and
spirit, which most recently led him to be recruited as lead guitarist for The Yardbirds in
2018.

The concert’s dynamic setlist spans Clapton’s entire career, as far back as his work with
Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominos, to his celebrated later solo hits, featuring
classics such as Sunshine of Your Love, Presence of the Lord, Layla, I Shot The Sheriff,
Wonderful Tonight, and more.

Godfrey Townsend’s deep admiration for Clapton’s artistry shines through in every note,
making “Clapton Is Godfrey” a must-see experience for blues and rock fans alike. He
delivers an electrifying tribute to one of rock’s greatest legends.
