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 & spikes in energy as the crowd shakes their booties & sheds inhibitions. Dr. Bacon started playing together in 2012 on King Steet 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 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.
