Dr. Bacon

Dr. Bacon is a Funked Up Roots and Rock n’ Roll band based out of Asheville, North Carolina. 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, NC as a 3 piece busking with acoustic bluegrass/folk and 90s/00’s pop/rock/hip-hop influenced music. Several lineup changes over the years and a move to Asheville refined and electrified the band’s sound, incorporating funk, rock, soul, jam, psychedelic and world music to Appalachian influences. The blending of several elements of these genres (often within the same song) along with a truly unique instrumental arsenal is what keeps Dr. Bacon fans coming back for more.
