The Bacon Brothers will be playing the Dakota Jazz Club next week (July 13th), in support of their new self-titled album (released June 1st on Forosoco Music).

The talented brother duo features award-winning actor Kevin Bacon from such films like Hollow Man, Footloose, and Flatliners (the original 90s version) and Emmy-winning composer Michael Bacon.

The brothers will be joined on stage with a full backing band: Paul Guzzone (bass, backing vocals), Joe Mennonna (keyboards, accordion), Ira Siegel (lead guitar, mandolin and backing vocals) and Frank Vilardi (drums).

Of course, due to the popularity of the group and the intimate small seating of the Dakota Jazz Club, the show has sold out.

Special guest Cindy Alexander to open.

BOMBINO

We caught Niger’s internationally acclaimed Bombino in Oct 2016 and noted, “If you didn’t know, Bombino (real name Omara Moctar) came from a troubled time in Niger, when there were the Tuareg people rebelled against the country in the early 90s. Niger, in fear of another rebellion, basically banned all guitars (which was seen as a symbol of rebellion). Bombino was one of the key musicians representing his people...”

It’s rare to see Niger bands in town, so if you love international music, go see them next Sunday.
