An Evening with the Bacon Brothers - SOLD OUT

The Bacon Brothers are anything but a typical rock band. Brothers Michael and Kevin Bacon, each accomplished in their own right, play gritty rock that is unapologetically unique and authentic.  Their style can best be described by their first album title, Forosoco, a word describing the blend of folk, rock, soul, and country influences.  Now, nearly 20 years later, The Bacon Brothers continue to impress audiences and critics with their soulful sound and their latest offering of Americana 36 cents.

Older brother Michael, an acclaimed musician and composer, and younger brother Kevin, an award-winning actor, combine to form The Bacon Brothers. Their childhood hometown of Philadelphia is the brothers’ muse for their eclectic blend of rock and soul.  Growing up in the City of Brotherly Love, Michael and Kevin were surrounded by music from an early age.

Michael started as a career musician in the 1960's, first playing gigs at Philadelphia’s Electric Factory with younger brother Kevin tagging along.  He later moved to Nashville to pursue songwriting, and his musical career took off.  Now, an Emmy Award-winning composer, Michael is credited with many original scores for film and television, most recently scoring the documentary Good Fortune – The Story of Morgenthau.

Younger brother Kevin always loved music but chose a different path.  Best known for his acting roles in Footloose, Mystic River and Apollo 13, Kevin has appeared in 80 films and has a Golden Globe win along with several Emmy and Screen Actor’s Guild nominations.  He is currently starring in the FOX drama The Following.

Now, nearly two decades after the band formed in 1995, The Bacon Brothers are a musical force to be reckoned with. Don’t let Kevin’s roots in Hollywood fool you. 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.”  In addition to the conversation interview, The Bacon Brothers will perform live.  

6:30-7:00pm cash bar reception.  7:00pm lecture, gratis.  Advance reservations required by Thursday, June 4^th, at which time they are considered final sale.
