The Bacon Brothers

Long before iconic actor Kevin Bacon became a household name with such hit films as Footloose and A Few Good Men, he was writing songs and playing percussion in Philadelphia coffeehouses with his brother and other groups. Michael, nine years Kevin's senior, had already established himself as a professional musician, performing with his popular Philly band "Good News." Today the Bacon Brothers - Kevin on guitar and vocals and Michael on guitar, cello and vocals - are a dynamic force on the American music scene and one of the most popular live bands on the concert circuit. They call their sound "forosoco," a fusion of folk, rock, soul and country. Their fans call it "awesome."
