Hollywood actor Kevin Bacon and his brother Michael Bacon performed at Reston Town Center Oct. 12 at The Washington West Film Festival. The festival featured the Bacon Brothers as part of its four-day film festival at locations in Tysons and Reston. "Kevin Bacon embodies the intersection of philanthropy and film that is at the heart of this festival, and it's an honor to partner with his charity, SixDegrees.Org, to help foster children right in our backyard," said Brad Russell, founder of the Washington West Film Festival.


The Bacon brothers have played music together since they were young boys and they formed a band in 1995. Since then, the Bacon Brothers band has gone on to release 12 studio albums and has toured throughout North America and Europe. Their genre is a mix of folk, rock, soul, and country, known to Bacon Brothers fans as FOROSOCO. The exploration continues with the band's twelfth release, Ballad Of The Brothers. It's a record that highlights not only the similarities between Kevin Bacon (known worldwide as an A-list Hollywood actor) and Michael Bacon (celebrated as an Emmy-winning composer) but the differences, too.

"We're proud to partner with Washington West Film Festival and the Reston Town Center Association to bring this incredible act to the Pavilion stage," said Sapna Yathiraj, Marketing Director at BXP. "It's an honor to be a part of it."
