The Bacon Brothers Return to Philly Roots for Fishtown Show at Rivers Casino Philadelphia

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE BACON BROTHERS RETURN TO PHILLY ROOTS FOR FISHTOWN SHOW AT RIVERS CASINO PHILADELPHIA

Tickets for the one-night-only performance on Feb. 22 are on sale now

PHILADELPHIA — Oct. 17, 2024 — 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 on Saturday, Feb. 22, at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and start at $39.

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 Bacon Brothers’ return to their hometown promises to deliver an amazing show in our Event Center,” said Shannon Redmond, regional vice president of marketing for the casino. “This one-night-only performance will be a slice of Americana and offer an unforgettable evening of live music.”

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.

Tickets to see The Bacon Brothers can be purchased at RiversCasino.com/Philadelphia.
