Taking the main stage for the premium spot of the evening is Lou Gramm, the Original Voice of Foreigner. 

​

Gramm was the lead vocalist on all of Foreigner's hit songs, including "Feels Like the First Time", "Cold as Ice", "Long, Long Way from Home", "Hot Blooded",  "Double Vision", "Blue Morning, Blue Day", "Head Games", "Dirty White Boy",  "Urgent", "Juke Box Hero", "Break It Up" and "Say You Will". He co-wrote most of  the songs for the band, which achieved two of its biggest hits with the ballads  "Waiting for a Girl Like You", which spent ten weeks at #2 on the 1981-82  American Hot 100, and "I Want to Know What Love Is", which was a #1 hit  internationally (US & UK) in 1985. Their first 8 singles cracked the Billboard Top 20 (4 went Top 10), making them the first group since the Beatles to achieve this in 1980.

​

The Indiana Bacon Festival committee is thrilled to bring Lou to the stage. “As we look for new ways each year to enhance the festival, we felt it was important to invest in a high-end act to take the stage, bringing rock and roll back to the front and center of the Bacon Festival,” shared Julia Leahy, Executive Director of the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce and leader of the Indiana Bacon Festival.
