Bakersfield first-time buyers and those unfamiliar with the city might be surprised that its official nickname is actually “California’s Country Music Capital.” It’s not its productive oil fields or its explosive growth that the city is most well-known for, but for being the birthplace of the Bakersfield Sound – and even Bakersfield first-time buyers may have heard of this.
Immortalized in American pop culture as the town where country music greats like Wynn Stewart, Buck Owens and Merle Haggard refined and popularized Bakersfield sound, Bakersfield is a cultural icon in its own right. Music is one of this oil-rich city’s defining features and throughout Bakersfield you’ll be able to see and hear the many signs of this rich, quintessentially American musical heritage. Venues such as the Rabobank Arena Theater & Convention Center, the historic Fox Theater and Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace and Steakhouse often host musical performances by country western artists as well as many of today’s hottest stars.
The city never fails to entertain everyone, from long-timers to Bakersfield first-time buyers. Even if one isn’t a country music fan, Bakersfield will still satisfy. Classical music aficionados can listen to the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra, while theater and moviegoers can catch a show at the city’s hip downtown district.
