The sizzle of a Park City summer will pop wide open with the Bacon Brothers kicking off the St. Regis Big Stars, Bright Nights concert series at Deer Valley's Snow Park Amphitheater on Saturday, June 28.. Both Emmy Award-winning composer Michael and his younger Golden Globe Award-winning brother Kevin have a history with Park City. They have performed together twice at the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts and have each had multiple projects with the Sundance Film Festival. The siblings talked with The Park Record in a conference call to talk about balancing their individual careers with their band. Both started the conversation off by reminiscing about their times visiting Park City. "Park City is such a beautiful area and such a real place," Michael said from his studio in New York City. "It doesn't feel like a manufactured ski fantasy. We both love to ski and I would say, for our family, getting together to go skiing is the apex of family relationships." Kevin, calling in from Los Angeles, California, said his first venture to Park City was during in 1981 when the Sundance Film Festival was called the U.S. Film Festival. "I had a movie there and both the town and festival were different," he said. "Park City was a little sleepy town and I remember going to the screening and walking up Main Street to the Egyptian Theatre and there was snow that was different than I've seen on the East Coast. I fell in love with it." Kevin would return to Utah to film "Footloose" in Provo and Orem, but would always head up to the Sundance Resort on the weekends. "I love it there, and we've always had good gigs there," he said. This time around the Bacon Brothers and their band - bassist Paul Guzzone, drummer Frank Vilardi, keyboardist Joe Mennonna and electric guitarist Ira Siegel - are planning to play some songs from their previous six albums and some from their new album, "36¢," which will be released in a few weeks. "We are doing a lot of stuff from the new CD and we just had a three-day run in D.C., where we had a chance to work on the new stuff," Michael said. "Somehow the songs on the new CD are difficult to perform. I don't know exactly why. It's been great to have those three days and I feel the band is pretty tuned up for the Park City gig. I'm really excited to come out." The Bacon Brothers write a majority of their songs, and, on occasion, PHOTO COURTESY OF THE PARK CITY INSTITUTE Actor Kevin, left, and composer Michael, known together as the Bacon Brothers, will start off the Park City Institute's St. Regis Big Stars, Bright Nights Concert Series at Deer Valley's Snow Park Amphitheater on Saturday. The duo's new album is called "36¢." At the end of the day, I always sat down and tried to pluck away at the guitar and I sort of continued doing that…" Kevin Bacon The Bacon Brothers play some covers. "These songs are all over the map because we're two writers who write pretty differently," Michael explained. "We have songs that are pretty intimate between Kevin and me and some are full-tilt rock 'n' roll and everything in between." Recording "36¢" was a different experience than the other six, even though each album has it's own quirks, Kevin said. "This one is a little more piecemeal because we had different producers," he said. "A lot of the guys in the band have home studios, so we passed the tracks around a little bit so they could record their parts." When the recording sessions began, the Bacons had five or six new songs ready to go, but knew they needed some more to fill out the album. "So, we went back into our past recordings and found some interesting things we recorded but didn't make any of our records," Kevin said. "We had different versions of older songs and a live session we did with Daryl Hall from ‘Live from Daryl's House.' It was a Paul Weller song and we liked the way it turned out, so we stuck that on the new CD." The Bacons first discovered their love for music while growing up in Philadelphia. "I don't ever remember a time when I wasn't incredibly fascinated with music," Michael said. "Luckily, we grew up in a household that really wanted us to be inspired by the arts." Ironically, their parents weren't actual musicians. "My mother played mandolin, but not very well and my father was a terrible singer, but they loved music," Michael said. "Our house was full of it, and as a child in that area, you're living life in full Technicolor. "I absorbed so much stuff as a child, both in the art area as a cellist and in folk and rock as a banjo and guitar player in a jug band with my sister," he said. "By the time I was 12, all the things I used in my everyday career as a composer and songwriter were already in place. I've never wanted to, or felt confident doing anything else."
