Bound by blood and a mutual love of American roots music, The Bacon Brothers have spent the past quarter-century in a creative whirl, funneling their shared DNA into a genre-bending sound. They call that sound “Forosoco” – a blend of folk, rock, soul and country influences, delivered by two songwriters who were born to collaborate – and it’s taken the siblings across the world, from shows in Japan to performances at American landmarks including Carnegie Hall and the Grand Ole Opry. As a songwriting band, Michael and Kevin Bacon let the songs point in the direction of undiscovered territory as they continue a story that began long ago in Philadelphia, where the two siblings were raised on a soundtrack of 1970s singer-songwriters, Philly soul singers and classic rock bands. With their latest EP, the brothers – songwriters, frontmen and multi-instrumentalists – prove their staying power once again.
