Philadelphia is the city of brotherly love and two of her brothers performed a sizzling set last night that left me in awe and and audience yearning for just one more song. The Bacon Brothers (Michael Bacon - Vocals/Guitar/Cello, Kevin Bacon - Vocals/Guitar/Percussions, Paul Guzzone - Bass/Vocals, Charlie Giordano - Keys, Frank Vilardi - Drums, Ira Siegel - Guitar) took to the stage in front of a packed house at the B.B. King's House of Blues in New York City.The perfect combination of award-winning actor Kevin Bacon and his equally creative brother Michael Bacon performed their strongest set to date to the crowd that included Nathan Lane and Kyra Segdwick.
The chemistry between the brothers electrified the room along with the spectacular lighting supported by the pure and rich sounds of the music and the tight harmonies. The songs flowed smoothly to the fans who bounced in their seats lip synching to each song that was followed by a very loud roar of approval. The highlight of the night went far beyond the vivacious staff, the mouth watering food, and meeting a brick house of a man named Tiny. The Bacon Brothers blew me away with brilliant performance of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass that proved to me that this is not "just" an actor in a band. This is a band whose music lives inside two brothers who have earned their mark as true music artists.
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 the Bacon Brothers will drop and release their sixth full length CD titled New Year's Day. The album title reflects the theme of moving forward, while the title track pays homage to their hometown. New Year's Day will be available on iTunes and the Bacon Brothers web store. I am counting the days down to their next New York City area show and can't express to you more that if you want to experience song writing at its best then you owe it to yourself to open your ears and your mind to the Bacon Brothers who are touring to a city near you.
