»» Perhaps no other band has gotten more mileage out of the element of surprise than the Bacon Brothers. Through countless gigs and five albums—including the new White Knuckles—surprising people is something the band has gotten quite good at since forming some 11 years ago. Put simply, at each tour stop, the Bacon Brothers encounter cynical or curious listeners expecting no more than a vanity project. What they encounter instead is a group of guys who can actually play.

"We’ve been chipping away at that awareness, chipping away at the fact that most people think we’re gonna suck," co-frontman and global film star Kevin Bacon says, reflecting on he and his brother Michael’s first 11 years as a band.
