The Bacon Brothers

We have all seen him in movies, and have most likely played “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” at one point, and this November, we can see the famous Kevin Bacon and Hollywood’s go-to composer, brother, Michael, play at the Polk Theatre.

On November 19th, The Bacon Brothers will perform at the Polk Theatre. The Bacon Brothers have been playing together for over 14 years. Young Kevin, would follow his older brother, Michael to shows in their hometown, Philadelphia, and the two developed a love for music and playing together. Last February, The Bacon Brothers released their latest album, New Years Day. The album is full of the brother’s trademark gritty rock sound with elements of Philly soul.

Kevin Bacon is an accomplished actor and has appeared in films such as Footloose, My Dog Skip, Hollow Man, Frost/Nixon, and many more. Kevin has also become a very prolific musician , and wrote many of the songs on the album.

Michael Bacon is a well-known composer for film and television and has won a few Emmy awards throughout the years for his scores.

The Bacon Brothers have proved they are not just your typical Hollywood guys trying to break into the music scene, they have real musical talent and have developed quite the following in their 14 years together. According to The New Yorker  ” Hollywood hangs like an albatross around the neck of any movie star turned musician, but this duo shakes off the burden of fame with sharply executed rock that has a blue-collar, rootsy edge.”

Tickets for The Bacon Brothers at the Polk Theatre are currently on sale, and are selling fast! Ticket prices range from $25-$45 depending on the seats.
