Bacon Brothers to perform at Bottle & Cork July 14

July 5, 2019

The Bacon Brothers will hit the stage at the Bottle & Cork in Dewey Beach Sunday, July 14, as part of their action-packed Shaky Ground Tour 2019.

“We're excited to be playing some of our favorite places as well as discovering new ones. It'll be fun to go out with some great new music to share,” said Kevin Bacon.

Fiercely devoted to making music, even from an early age, the Bacon Brothers cite such varied influences as the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Motown, Led Zeppelin, James Taylor, Pete Seeger and Chet Atkins, just to name a few.

The siblings have spent more than 20 years working the road and paying their dues, resulting in nine albums spanning rock, soul, folk and Americana. Never content to be typecast, they’re fiercely devoted to the cause of making music, undeterred by fame, fortune or the pitfalls that frequently obstruct the path to success.

Kevin Bacon is an award-winning actor with 80 films and dozens of television and stage credits to his name, resulting in numerous Emmy and Screen Actors Guild nominations. Older brother Michael initially began making music in their native Philadelphia before moving to Nashville where his songwriting career blossomed. An Emmy-winning composer, he most recently scored Goodface Films’ “Master Maggie,” starring Lorraine Bracco, Kenan Thompson and Brian Dennehy, which premiered at the TriBeCa Flim Festival in April. 

Critics have been quick to note that the brothers - Michael on vocals, guitar and cello, and Kevin on vocals, guitar and percussion - work smoothly with Paul Guzzone (bass, backing vocals), Joe Mennonna (keyboards, accordion), Tim Quick (lead guitar, mandolin and backing vocals) and Frank Vilardi (drums) - and eschew any hint of glitz and glamour.
