Roll band. Wielding a diverse instrumentation with broad, deep
musical influences allows the band to perform a plethora of
energetic, accessible, and 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

instrumentation is the real Dr. Bacon flavor, and Bacon goes with everything!
