1. The Bacon Brothers Perform at Franklin Theatre
WHAT: Most people would agree that there’s nothing stronger, more durable and occasionally, even more volatile, than the bond between brothers. And when that bond includes the common goal of making music, the results often offer reason for an audience to sit up and take notice. Fiercely devoted to making music, even from an early age (they cite such influences as the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Motown, Led Zeppelin, Philly soul, and James Taylor, with mentions from Michael of Pete Seeger, Jimmy Rogers, Chet Atkins, and the Jim Kweskin Jug Band), the two siblings share a singular body of work that’s found them spending more than 20 years of working the road and paying their dues, resulting in seven albums.
The Bacon Brothers will play two shows this week at the Franklin Theatre. Purchase tickets here.
WHEN: Shows take place Monday, July 16 & Wednesday, July 18, both shows begin at 8pm
WHERE: Franklin Theatre, 419 Main St, Franklin
