Michael Bacon is an American singer-songwriter, musician and film score composer. He is the brother of actor Kevin Bacon. Michael is an accomplished guitarist, keyboardist and cellist. In the late 1990s and into the 2000s, Bacon performed with his Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award-nominated brother, Kevin, in a duo ensemble, called The Bacon Brothers, which he formed.

With three albums to their credit by 2001, Bacon's tour schedule included eight concerts for the summer of that year, at venues from New York City, down the East Coast, and into the Midwest to Peru, Illinois and Missouri. The duo have written and performed songs together for several decades, including several commercial numbers and maintain that they will continue to work together and perform. The Bacon Brothers were featured on the July-August 2006 cover of Making Music Magazine.
In 2008, Michael composed the soundtrack for the PBS mini series The Jewish Americans. Bacon has composed hundreds of songs for television shows and motion pictures. In January 2006, Michael appeared on an episode of Queer Eye with his brother Kevin.

The episode featured him as the episode's "straight guy" and makeover recipient, and ended with both Bacon Brothers performing. Bacon has been married to Betsy Maguire since 1972; they have one child, Neil Bacon (born April 29, 1982). He earned a degree in music from Lehman College; he studied composition and orchestration with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Corigliano.
