Bacon Brothers

Philadelphia’s very own Bacon Brothers are bringing their unique blend of folk, rock, soul and country music to Fishtown and Rivers Casino in 2025.

The dynamic duo of actor Kevin Bacon and his composer brother Michael Bacon, known for their diverse sound they call 'forosoco,' will perform on The Event Center stage.

The Bacon Brothers have spent the better part of three decades exploring their unique, eclectic sound that’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.

Backed by a full band, both Bacons write, sing lead vocals and play guitar. The band's 12th album release, Ballad of the Brothers, highlights not only the similarities between Kevin (known worldwide as an A-list Hollywood actor) and Michael (celebrated as an Emmy-winning composer), but their differences, too.

The two brothers 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, offering a mix of edgy alt-rock ("Take Off This Tattoo"), Motown inspired soul ("Put Your Hand-Up"), finger-picked folk ("Let That Be Enough") and everything in between.

For Michael and Kevin, Ballad Of The Brothers marks the continuation of a musical partnership that began long ago in Philadelphia, where the two siblings were raised on a soundtrack of 1970s singer/songwriters, Philly soul bands, and classic rock acts. They're creating their own soundtrack now, and like many artistic endeavors, the work is never truly done.

February 22 8PM at the Rivers Casino Philadelphia Event Center. A full bar will be available. Free parking on-site. Must be 21+
