You would have to be living under a rock to never have heard of Kevin Bacon. If you have been taking up residence under a rock, Kevin Bacon is a middle aged actor who has been in hit films like Friday the 13th, Footloose and X-Men First Class.

One fact that the casual Kevin Bacon fan might not know is that he is also in a Band with his brother Michael. The Bacon Brothers (their bands name) have been performing together professionally since 1995. While the brothers have not received too much fame as a band, you can find a few of their songs on lesser known film soundtracks and have probably seen them perform a song or two on a couple late night TV shows.

Unlike his more famous brother, Michael Bacon never cared too much for acting. He received a music degree from Lehman College and has composed hundreds of songs for both television and film. In 2008, Micheal received well deserved praise for his soundtrack for the miniseries, The Jewish Americans.

The Bacon Brothers are not looking to make it big as musicians. They are both very successful in their solo careers to the point that their band is just a way to enjoy something they have loved doing since they were kids.
