The Bacon Brothers are pleased to announce their annual summer tour commencing April 28th in Warrensdale, PA. The 5-piece outfit is rehearsed and raring to go, looking forward to playing to sold-out houses of enthusiastic fans along the way. “Connecting with people through music is a joy!” effused Kevin, with Americana Highways weighing in; “The entire band is precise and honed, you can tell they have been together more than two decades, and that adds to their ability to electrify the audience.”

The Bacon Brothers, featuring Michael & Kevin Bacon, started over twenty-five years ago. Refusing to be pigeon-holed, the brothers call their sound Forosoco, which is short for “Folk, Rock, Soul, Country.” They’ve been featured by the BBC, Associated Press, SiriusXM, and Paste Magazine and have appeared on Carpool Karaoke, Ditty TV, and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. In addition, they’ve served as judges in the American Songwriter Magazine Lyric Competition, participated in the 9/11 Memorial for The Grand Ole Opry’s 20th Anniversary September 11th tribute, and performed in Z.Z. Top – America Salutes You and hosted Love Rocks NYC. The Bacon’s have released ten albums and one E.P. to date, most recently the 2022 release, Erato.

The Philadelphia Music Alliance has recently honored The Bacon Brothers with a plaque on the Philadelphia Walk of Fame. And, this past November, Michael, Kevin, and SixDegrees.Org joined forces with the Philadelphia youth organization Rock to the Future and recorded a single, “Philly Thing.” Proceeds from “Philly Thing” support Rock to the Future. On April 29th, Rock to the Future will host their annual Music For All Ball event at Philadelphia’s World Cafe Live with a special performance from The Bacon Brothers.

Ever prolific, Michael and Kevin have been busy writing and recording for a follow-up release to last summer’s E.P., Erato. Michael is really looking forward to treating the audience to new music; “Since we’re a songwriter band and we add an album’s worth of songs a year, playing new ones first time for audiences is intimidating but gripping. Will I screw up the words, the chords, the instrumental licks? Is this the big one that will break out into the public domain? Of course, after about 50 years of revisiting these same concerns, I get resigned that history will repeat itself every time I launch new songs. Still, no matter how long one chases those elusive muses, every effort is a fresh start, a rebirth, a renewal of what I’m doing here on earth. In Willie’s words, “The life I love is makin’ music with my friends and I can’t wait to get on the road again.”

About The Author

Dean Rogers

Editor-in-Chief/Entertainment Reporter

I knew early on that I wanted to take my place among the stars. One day, my mother saw me reading The Washington Post at a very young age. Who would have known that it would be the building blocks of my journey? Since that day, I dedicated my life to learn all that is learnable. I read everything from encyclopedias, to books, to dictionaries, to magazines. I’m also an avid consumer of television, with my favorite genre being game shows. If you’ve seen me on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Wheel of Fortune, then you know that this interest has served me well!

My unique style of reporting began back in junior high school, when I started to chronicle the events that shaped my life. Whether it was the annual family vacation or the local science fiction convention, I shot numerous pictures and recorded my thoughts so I could truly appreciate the history. During my senior year at Friendly High, I wrote what was to be my first masterpiece, “Advanced Space Academy – A One Week Journey.” I sent the eleven-page article back to the U.S. Space Camp staff. The article was highly praised for being “one of the best written articles in the history of U.S. Space Camp.” From then on, I knew what I wanted to do for rest of my life — to be a reporter.

Since then, I have trained in Broadcast Journalism at Bowie State University (2008) in Bowie, MD earning a B.S. in Communications. I gained experience in news production and editing through field experiences with Bowie Community Media Corporation, Prince George’s Community Television, and Bowie State University Television. I also wrote scripts for a variety of quiz shows for over five years.

As a lifelong movie buff, I now see close to 100 films every year. I took this love of movies to the next step when I became a co-host for Eclipse Magazine TV in the fall of 2005. While at EMTV, I interviewed celebrities, worked red carpets, and attended a wide variety of movie screenings. In January 2009, I took a leap of faith and started my own entertainment news magazine, The Rogers Revue. Shortly afterward, my life-long journey of studying the silver screen and writing about what I learned finally earned me a place in the Washington Area Film Critics Association.

All of this has led me here, giving you the latest entertainment news for the DMV and the entire nation, and I am truly excited for whatever will come next.
