Ballad of the Brothers

Bacon Brothers

The Bacon Brothers have spent the better part of three decades exploring their own mix of folk, rock, soul, and country music. They call that diverse sound "forosoco," and it's taken them around the world, from headlining gigs in Japan to American performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry and Gruene Hall.

The exploration continues with the band's twelfth release, Ballad Of The Brothers. It's a record that highlights not only the similarities between Kevin Bacon (known worldwide as an A-list Hollywood actor) and Michael Bacon (celebrated as an Emmy-winning composer), but the differences, too. The two siblings may be bound together by blood and a mutual love of American roots music, but they've grown into sharp songwriters and cinematic storytellers with their own distinct approaches. Ballad Of The Brothers makes room for both of those approaches, offering a mix of edgy alt-rock ("Take Off This Tattoo"), Motown-inspired soul ("Put Your Hand Up"), fingerpicked folk ("Let That Be Enough"), and everything in between. The album also marks the continuation of a musical partnership that began long ago in Philadelphia, where the Bacons were raised on a soundtrack of 1970s singer/songwriters, Philly soul bands, and classic rock acts. Multiple decades and countless shows later, they're creating their own soundtrack, saluting their old-school influences while making music that's undeniably modern.

Philly Thing

The Bacon Brothers

Release: 11/18/2022

Label: FOROSOCO Music, Soundly Music

The Bacon Brothers and SixDegrees.Org have joined forces with the Philadelphia youth organization Rock To The Future. They've teamed up and recorded "Philly Thing," a song written by Kevin Bacon and Naheim Gaymon-Hill. "I wrote this song about our hometown of Philadelphia, and we wanted to give back in some way, so we connected my charity, SixDegrees.Org, with Rock To The Future, and it was a perfect marriage," states Kevin.

Sixth-grader Naheim Gaymon-Hill wrote a rap that he contributed to the track. About the experience, he effused, "I feel so lucky that Rock To The Future helped me build up my performance confidence and gave me an opportunity to rock with The Bacon Brothers." 

Proceeds from “Philly Thing” go to support Rock To The Future.

ERATO

The Bacon Brothers

Release: 7/8/2022

Label: FOROSOCO Music, Soundly Music

Michael and Kevin Bacon turn a new page with their eleventh release, Erato, whose five songs showcase the duo at their diverse peak. It's an EP of dynamic contrasts: quiet moments and big payoffs, organic instrumentation and electronic textures, self-penned songs and high-profile collaborations. Joined by songwriting legend Desmond Child, producer Joe Nicolo, and other collaborators, The Bacon Brothers veer from the stripped-back soul of "Dark Chocolate Eyes" to the pop-friendly modern rock of "In Memory (Of When I Cared)," proving their staying power once again.

The Way We Love

The Bacon Brothers

Release: 7/17/2020
Label: Forosoco Records, Soundly Music

The Way We Love contains a series of songs that explore those intimate relationships with the people and ideals that become a source of both purpose and passion. The album contains ten tracks, seven of which were produced by the brothers, two by Philadelphia producer/engineer Joe Nicolo, one produced by Saverio Principini. Two of the exceptional offerings were recorded live at Sony Hall in New York City. It’s also one of their most emotionally charged collections to date, and one of their most dynamic and diverse as well.
