The Bacon Brothers' gritty form of blues rock and relentless touring continue to earn them die-hard fans around the world. In 2009, the Bacon Brothers will celebrate 14 years of touring, discarding any cynical preconceptions about well-known actors "dabbling" in music. The band features Michael Bacon who has earned numerous awards for his work composing music for movie and television soundtracks, and whose music career dates back to the 60's when he was signed to Columbia Records. He recently scored the soundtrack for "Boy Interrupted" which will be showcased at the Sundance Film Festival. His brother Kevin is currently featured in the Ron Howard movie Frost/Nixon and will star in the upcoming Sundance film Taking Chance.

The Bacon Brothers showcase a very different side of Kevin and Michael. The New Yorker says the Bacon Brothers have a knack for creating "sharply executed rock that has a blue-collar, rootsy edge."

"New Year's Day" is the sixth release from The Bacon Brothers and is available now on iTunes and Amazon. It will be released in stores in March.
