Wow! What an evening! Rain was still falling lightly as we took our seats. The stars came out as the Pernikoff Brothers took the stage. The Pernikoff Brothers brought their best music with them. The band's energy spread out into the audience. The Pernikoff Brothers shared their original heart-felt music and included a rockin' rendition of the Beatles "Eleanor Rigby". The Pernikoff Brothers were a great opening act for the headliners, another band of brothers, The Bacon Brothers.
The Bacon Brothers Band, leading with brothers Kevin and Michael, brought more energy forth to share with their audience.Songs like "Take Off This Tatoo", sharing that feeling of memories of a person gone from your life, but not from your thoughts, hit home. The evening passed quickly as each band member was given an opportunity to shine. The evening closed with The Pernikoff Brothers joining the Bacon Brothers Band on stage for a rousing rendition of "Footloose". The song, originally sung by Kenny Loggins for the movie of the same name never sounded better than that night with the brothers on stage.
A few words about the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater...what a wonderful venue! Built on the shores of Lake Decatur in Illinois, the venue holds maybe 3000 ticketholders.The tickets are reasonable; the venue has assigned seats near the stage and a lawn venue for folks with blankets in the rear. Concessions are available. The Beach House, a restaurant, is nearby on the lake. We had hoped to dine at the Beach House prior to the concert,but rain derailed our plans. We look forward to next year's schedule and our next trip to the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater.

The Bacon Brothers Biography
The Bacon Brothers have spent the better part of three decades exploring 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.
The exploration continues with the band's twelfth release, Ballad Of The Brothers. It's a record that 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. The two siblings may be bound together by blood and a mutual love of American roots music, but they've grown into sharp songwriters and cinematic storytellers with their own distinct approaches. Ballad Of The Brothers makes room for both of those approaches, offering a mix of edgy alt-rock ("Take Off This Tattoo"), Motown-inspired soul ("Put Your Hand Up"), fingerpicked folk ("Let That Be Enough"), and everything in between. The album also marks the continuation of a musical partnership that began long ago in Philadelphia, where the Bacons were raised on a soundtrack of 1970s singer/songwriters, Philly soul bands, and classic rock acts. Multiple decades and countless shows later, they're creating their own soundtrack, saluting their old-school influences while making music that's undeniably modern.
