Headline Performance by The Bacon Brothers

We're excited to announce that roots-rockers The Bacon Brothers, featuring composer Michael Bacon and actor Kevin Bacon, will perform the headlining set at the Center Celebration 2026!

Kevin Bacon is the A-list Hollywood star known for roles in classic films including Footloose, National Lampoon’s Animal House, JFK, A Few Good Men, Apollo 13 and Mystic River.

Michael Bacon, an associate professor at New York’s Lehman College, is a multi-instrumentalist and the Emmy-winning composer of hundreds of film and television scores.

The Philadelphia natives have spent nearly three decades creating an original mix of folk, rock, soul and country music – they call it “forosoco” – and sharing it around the world, from headlining gigs in Japan to performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall and the Grand Ole Opry. In 2024, they released their 12th album, Ballad of the Brothers.

The Center Celebration 2026 Highlights include:

Red Carpet Arrival and Cocktail Reception
Elegant dinner with a show-stopping dessert
Live auction supporting arts and education programming
Headliner performance by roots-rockers The Bacon Brothers
After-parties to keep the music going in the Brham Founders Club and the Robert Adam Room
