The Bacon Brothers will headline A Concert Under the Stars on Saturday, June 9 to benefit the . 

The concert, at the Updike Farmstead on Quaker Road, will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a down home menu by Main Street Fine Catering. Guests may tour the recently renovated farmhouse, enjoy a nationally traveling exhibition of artwork by Ellen Wilson (the first wife of President Woodrow Wilson), and explore the farmstead grounds while sipping a cool, Southern Comfort punch. The Bacon Brothers will perform from 8 to 9:30 p.m. 

Kevin Bacon, prolific stage and screen actor, and Michael Bacon, Emmy-winning composer for film and television, formed The Bacon Brothers in 1995. Their trademark sound builds on their history of playing music together as they came of age in Philadelphia: gritty rock with a touch of Philly soul. Working with the same crew of musicians since their formation, The Bacon Brothers have released six albums, the first in 1997 and the latest in 2011.
