Kevin Bacon returns to the stage with a family concert
Kevin Bacon will return to his musical roots when he performs at a New York concert with his brother on Tuesday.
Bacon, 49, formed his folk band The Bacon Brothers Duo with older brother Michael in 1995.
The pair is set to headline The Queens Theater in the Park Gala with a 70-minute set that will raise funds for local performing arts programs.
But the actor – who shares two children with his wife of 20 years, actress Kyra Sedgwick – admits he’s anxious to take the stage, insisting even his own family is reluctant to attend his performances.
He says, “I always say the biggest surprise for people is that we don’t totally suck. And we don’t expect anyone to like it or to give us a pass based on the fact that there’s an actor or a celebrity in the band. We just want people to put on an even playing field and to have fun. It’s like pulling teeth to get (my family) to come. My kids, love me as they do, they usually have something they’re more interested in doing other (things) than coming to our show.”
The Bacon brothers have released four studio albums in the 13 years since their debut.
