THE BACON BROTHERS
Dakota Jazz Club
Wed 08/21/2019 (7pm/$75)
dakotacooks.com

The Bacon Brothers is back at the Dakota Jazz Club this Wednesday, August 21st. If you didn’t know, Kevin Bacon and Michael Bacon are passionate about their music, even though many people might only know Kevin Bacon as simply an actor.

We caught the brothers in July 2018 and wrote, “As the group play their ever-changing setlist, they kept adding various instruments in their shows. But it’s for the love of their songs, that the band brought on a cello to play an untitled interlude song, or mandolin for “Driver”, or bongos for “Don’t Lose Me Boy”, or four ukuleles for “Perfect Pitch”, or banging on the Peruvian cajón for a love song devoted to their “Bus”. Speaking from someone who attends a lot of shows, most bands make up the setlist based on what instruments they have with them. Meaning, if a song requires a strange instrument, it might be dropped from their set because they don’t want to bring it on tour. It’s a practical logic, but apparently not for the Bacon Brothers! You have to love them for that.”
