A Farm Life Fans Adore
Married since 1988, Bacon and Sedgwick share two children, Travis and Sosie. Over the years, they have also shared snippets of their rural life with fans, who have come to love their down-to-earth humor and heartfelt farm videos.
Bacon’s popular Goat Songs series, in which he plays guitar to his goats and alpacas, unexpectedly became a viral hit. He told Entertainment Tonight, “G“at Songs is immensely popular, and I had no idea it would be.

And I kind of discovered…that I find it very relaxing hanging out with them. Sometimes I’ll go down and bring an instrument, and they don’t hate it.”
Fans began suggesting songs for him to perform, often with clever wordplay like “You can goat your own way.” Bacon eventually covered New Kids on the Block and even received a message from A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys urging him to add one of their hits.
