Long before Kevin Bacon launched his prolific stage and screen career, and before Michael Bacon became known as a go-to composer for film and television, they were just two brothers, born nine years apart, coming of age in Center City Philadelphia. By the late 1960s, Michael, already a professional musician, would gig with his band at the city's famed Electric Factory with a young Kevin tagging along when he could.
With 2011 marking 16 years of the Bacon Brothers band's existence, any cynical preconceptions about well-known actors "dabbling" in music now can safely be discarded. The band has gigged relentlessly to build up a following, and New Year's Day, represents their sixth LP. The record, laden with the brothers' trademark gritty rock and a touch of Philly soul, hearkens back to those roots in the City of Brotherly Love, when life was less complicated and music filled the air.
About Kevin Bacon: Kevin has appeared in such diverse and award-winning films as Apollo 13, Murder in the First, The River Wild, Footloose, JFK, A Few Good Men, Mystic River & The Woodsman.
Songs: Woman’s Got A Mind to Change, Go My Way, Guess Again (The KJ’s Song), Unhappy Birthday, Ten Years In Mexico, Don’t Lose Me Boy, I’m So Glad I’m Not Married & Grace
