Kevin Bacon may be best known for his acting, particularly for his roles in Footloose and The Woodsman, but he also has just as much of a passion for music.
The star along with his brother, Michael Bacon, are the duo behind The Bacon Brothers, a working band since 1994.
Fans of the actor have long known of his love for music, in part thanks to his Monday Blues series on Instagram and his many musical videos with his wife Kyra Sedgwick, and now his second passion is getting even wider recognition.

Kevin took to Instagram over the weekend to reveal to fans that he and his brother's band – some of their songs include "Dark Chocolate Eyes" (2022) and "Ten Years in Mexico" (1999) – had received the honor of a plaque at the Philadelphia Music Alliance's Walk of Fame.
Per their website, the organization is a "community-based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Philadelphia's rich musical legacy."

"I can't thank the Philadelphia Music Alliance enough for this incredible honor," Kevin wrote, adding: "It was fun to celebrate where it all started with @michaelbacon36 and @baconbrosmusic." Kevin, 64, is the youngest of six children and is originally from Philadelphia. His late father, Edmund Bacon, was an urban planner who served for many years as executive director of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission.
