What do Holly Near, the famous singer, song-writer, Nick Holmes, acoustic urban blues man, and Quinn Van Antwerp, star of Jersey Boys, have in common with Kevin Bacon, actor and star of the FOX drama "The Following", Emmy Award winning composer, Michael Bacon, both members of the long- running band, The Bacon Brothers, and their sister Hilda? They are all family, and they are all performing together at The Cutting Room tonight, December 8 at 7PM in "A Band Called Holmes".

The Near, Holmes, and Bacons have been performing music for audiences and each other for decades, so the evening is a chance to join this family reunion set to music; more than that, it is a celebration of the next generation of talent from this extended musical family.

This next generation includes Kevin's son Travis of the band White Widows Pact, and his daughter Sosie, who is currently filming Off-Season.Sosie, and Travis are joined by Quinn's sister, Devon Near- Hill. Together these ten performers at this one-off concert, all descendants of Ann, Ruth and Lawrence Holmes, who also happen to be the grandchildren of one of the founder's of pulp fiction publishing house, Street & Smith, will bring their audience a wide range of musical genres including hits of their own and some Holiday favorites.

Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door, with a $20 food/drink minimum, and can be purchased from The Cutting Room at 44 East 32nd Street, (212) 691-1900 or on their website, http://tickets.TheCuttingRoomNYC.com/event/408907-band-called-holmes-new-york/.
