Records

The Bacon Brothers may not have Grammys or platinum records, but their achievements are meaningful within the Americana community. They won an Independent Music Award for White Knuckles, a recognition that put them alongside respected indie artists. Their induction into the Philadelphia Music Alliance Walk of Fame in 2015 honors their roots and enduring contribution to the city's music scene. For a duo that has always operated independently, these accolades reflect genuine artistic merit rather than commercial hype.

AwardsThe Bacon Brothers have won three awards: the Independent Music Award for Best Americana Album (White Knuckles, 2006), the New York International Independent Film & Video Festival award for Best Original Song ("Guilty of the Crime," 2000), and the Los Angeles Music Award for Best Americana Artist (2002).
