FREESTANDING TOUR
For The Bacon Brothers, music is all about exploration. Their sound 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 two musicians who write songs very differently, and we've grown to really appreciate those differences," says Michael. The siblings have spent the better part of three decades creating their own mix of folk, rock, soul, and country music. They call that diverse sound "forosoco," and it's taken them around the world, from headlining gigs in Japan to American performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry and Gruene Hall. And back by popular demand, to Zoellner! Click HERE for artist's website. LU Students attend for FREE, click for more info. Price includes a $1.00 donation to sixdegrees.org

A searing and timely exploration of colonialism, power, and the invisible walls that divide us.

Urgent, thought-provoking, and profoundly human, this play invites audiences to question how we move forward in a fractured world. Adam Ercolani, director.

When New York City pianist Scott Bradlee created Postmodern Jukebox out of a basement in Queens in 2011, his goal was simple: to remake the pop hits of today into the classic sounds of the legends of yesterday. Miley Cyrus became The Platters. Bruno Mars became Frank Sinatra. The Spice Girls became The Andrews Sisters. Guns 'n' Roses became Bessie Smith.
Now, over a decade and two billion YouTube views later, Postmodern Jukebox has grown to become a pop culture mainstay in its own right, having played over a thousand shows on six continents. One part celebration of vintage music and culture, one part Saturday Night Live for singers, a Postmodern Jukebox show is an unforgettable trip back in time - in Baker Hall, again!
