Bound by blood and a mutual love of American roots music, The Bacon Brothers have spent the past quarter-century in a creative whirl, funneling their shared DNA into a genre-bending sound. They call that sound "Forosoco"—a blend of folk, rock, soul, and country influences, delivered by two songwriters who were born to collaborate—and it's taken the siblings across the world, from shows in Japan to performances at American landmarks like Carnegie Hall and the Grand Ole Opry.

As keynote speakers, Michael and Kevin Bacon deliver a laid-back yet insightful program that feels like catching up with old friends. With subtle humor and brotherly riffing, they discuss teamwork, creative process, and philanthropy through SixDegrees, while tying in a wealth of lived experience that connects back to your organization’s mission. The Bacon Brothers are a perfect fit for non-profits, associations, corporate conferences, and any audience in search of celebrity speakers with a powerful story and wisdom for the ages.

More About The Bacon Brothers
Raised in a family that celebrated creativity and artistry above all else, Michael and Kevin Bacon have been making music together for most of their lives. They officially formed The Bacon Brothers band in the 90s and have released a dozen projects since including, most recently, Ballad of the Brothers, Erato, and The Way We Love.

"We're still exploring the sound we began making 25 years ago; we've just gotten a lot better at it," says Michael, whose success as an Emmy-winning composer mirrors his brother's own accolades as an A-list Hollywood actor. "Music is a life's work. It's a universe of things yet to know. It's exciting to be doing stuff we couldn't have done 20 years ago — to know that we've come so far, yet still have so much left in the tank."

"We're a songwriting band, and the songs lead the way," Kevin explains. "We're not beholden to a specific sound. We just write the songs and let them point us in the right direction. That's how we've done it since the very beginning."

The family that picks together sticks together. With every performance, Michael and Kevin Bacon—brothers, songwriters, frontmen, and multi-instrumentalists—prove their staying power once again.
