 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 1960s, 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.” They will play two nights August 17 & 18, 2016 • 7:30 P.M. Their shows sell out quickly, so grab you best friends, and either drop by the Metropolis in downtown Arlington Heights, or pick up the phone and call 1-847-577-2121 or visit www.metropolisarts.com The Metropolis is located at 111 West Campbell Street in beautiful “downtown” Arlington Heights. Lots of great dining choices and plenty of FREE parking. The venue is a delightful way to watch any type of show, with great views and comfortable seats and the very special arm-rest with a cup-holder. Who could ask for anything more? |
