MARDI GRAS WEEKEND--DR. BACON

$10 Advance. $15 Door. DR. BACON is a 6 Piece touring Appalachian Funk, Grass and Rock &

Roll band. Wielding a diverse instrumentation with broad, deep

musical influences allows the band to perform a plethora of

energetic, accessible, and danceable music. The Dr. Bacon Live

Experience is truly a spectacle to behold, bringing the audience on a

musical journey that lulls and spikes in energy, caressing ears with

lush beauty and whipping crowds into a tribal romp, shaking booties

and shedding inhibitions. This manic versatility ensures that no

matter what genre of music you identify with most, you will hear

something that resonates at a Bacon show. Dr. Bacon started

playing together in 2012 on King Street in Boone, NC as a 3 piece

busking with acoustic bluegrass, folk, and 90s pop/rock/hip-hop

influenced party music. Several lineup changes over the years and a

relocation to Asheville, NC have refined, redirected, electrified, and

matured the band's sound, incorporating funk, rock, soul,

psychedelic and world music to their bedrock of Appalachian

influences. The blending of several elements of these genres (often

within the same song) along with a unique & shifting

instrumentation is the real Dr. Bacon flavor, and Bacon goes with

everything!
