The Bacon Brothers are performing at select Hard Rock locations to help raise funds and awareness for the organization Musicians On Call. Musicians On Call (MOC) was founded in 1999 with the mission of bringing live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities to enhance the healing process. To date, MOC volunteers have played for over 125,000 people via room-to-room hospital performances by both local musicians and national celebrities, and their CD Pharmacies and Project Playback programs.

The tour starts Wednesday, March 11th, at the Boston Hard Rock Cafe. The Bacon Brothers will be playing many songs from their new album New Year’s Day which hits stores on March 24th. The band is comprised of acclaimed acting veteran Kevin Bacon, his brother award winning film and TV composer Michael Bacon, and band members Paul Guzzone, Frank Vilardi and Ira Siegel.

If you don't have HBO, find someone who does.

Invite yourself over next time "Taking Chance" is being shown.

This breathtaking short film - it runs about one hour 15 minutes - is astonishing. I watched it twice last weekend. If I don't turn on HBO again for the rest of the year, I've gotten my money's worth.

BERLIN (AFP) — Oscar winner Renee Zellweger on Thursday captivated the Berlin Film Festival with "My One and Only," a romantic comedy set in the 1950s, as the race for the Berlin Film Festival's coveted Golden Bear neared its climax. Appearing for the first time opposite "JFK" star Kevin Bacon, Zellweger plays Ann Devereaux who leaves her adulterous but rich musician husband (Bacon) and hits the road with her two teenage sons, George and Robbie, in search of a suitable replacement. The film, a contender for the festival's Golden Bear top prize, follows the trio's progress along a madcap road trip from New York to Hollywood that sees Ann begin a succession of affairs that inevitably end in catastrophe

If you have HBO, there is a "must see" airing on February 21 at 8pm. Based on a true story "Taking Chance" should be required viewing for every American whose sole support of our troops has been to slap a yellow ribbon on their bumper. Please bear in mind the majority of our troops killed in action have been shipped home as "Air Freight" and kept OUT of sight of the public.

Given all the things Kevin Bacon and Michael Bacon do separately, it's an accomplishment for the Bacon Brothers to simply find time to record a new album. But with Kevin's HBO movie "Taking Chance" set to debut Feb. 21 and Michael's score for the PBS special "The Trials of J. Robert Oppenheimer" completed, the Philadelphia natives have a chance to promote their eclectic album " New Year's Day."

The Bacon Brothers, Kevin and Michael, are the next performers to get footloose and fancy free at the Daryl Hall residence for Live From Daryl’s House. Live From Daryl’s House is Daryl Hall’s online television show broadcast from livefromdarylshouse.com

The way Kevin Bacon sees it, being in a rock band pretty much fits into the same category as, say, playing a gay hustler, or a playboy astronaut, or - in the case of best-picture-nominated Frost/Nixon - a very loyal and uptight aide to a disgraced ex-president.

A new HBO movie that will air Saturday, Feb. 21, tells the story of the cross-country escort of the body of a fallen Marine, the son of a former McCook woman and the nephew of a McCook couple, to his final resting place in Wyoming.

Just a few months ago, Hollywood heartthrob Kevin Costner fronted his own country-rock band at a big show at the Music Farm. Next week, another veteran leading man hits the Farm stage as local station The Bridge at 105.5 presents the Bacon Brothers on Fri. Feb. 6.

Los Angeles—Actor Kevin Bacon Friday said that his new HBO movie, Taking Chances, will help drive home the meaning of casualties of war, no matter how you feel about the conflict.

"In its simplicity, it becomes a profound comment," Bacon said during HBO’s session on Taking Chances at the Television Critics Association press tour.
