DR. BACON is a 6 Piece touring Appalachian Funk, Grass, and Rock & Roll band. Blending incredibly diverse instrumentation with broad, deep musical influences allows the band to perform a plethora of widely accessible, 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. Dr. Bacon started playing together in 2012 on King Street in Boone as a 3 piece busking with acoustic bluegrass, folk, and 90s pop/rock/hip-hop influenced music. Several lineup changes over the years, and a move to Asheville have refined and redirected the band's sound, incorporating funk, rock, soul, psychedelic, and world music to Appalachian influences. The blending of several elements of these genres (often within the same song), along with unique instrumentation, is the real Bacon flavor.
