The Bacon Brothers will perform at The Birchmere for two nights this summer in Alexandria!
The Bacon Brothers are taking their music on the road and their Freestanding Tour winds its way to The Birchmere in Alexandria this summer, for two dates: Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26.
The five-piece outfit is rehearsed and raring to go and looking forward to playing at sold-out houses of enthusiastic fans along the way. Kevin declares, "Connecting with people through music is a joy!"
The Bacon Brothers, featuring Michael and Kevin Bacon, have spent more than three decades creating their own mix of folk, rock, soul and country music. They call that diverse sound "Forosoco," and it's taken them worldwide, from headlining gigs in Japan to American performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry and Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Texas. They've been featured by the BBC, Associated Press, SiriusXM, and Paste Magazine and have appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Carpool Karaoke and Ditty TV, just to name a few.
They've released 12 records, the most recent being their 2024 release, Ballad Of The Brothers. It's a record that highlights the similarities between Kevin Bacon (known worldwide as an A-list Hollywood actor) and Michael Bacon (celebrated as an Emmy-winning composer) and their differences, too.
The critics have embraced the Bacon Brothers with The Alternate Root, declaring, "Ballad of the Brothers offers the kind of competence and credibility that most bands would be delighted to enjoy. The Bacons are sizzling yet again."Taste of Country stated simply that the pair made "Breezy, anthemic country rock," and Ink 19 effused, "The Bacon Brothers have come full circle, creating their own soundtrack that resonates with authenticity and innovation.”
