Bakersfield is the birthplace of the Bakersfield Sound, a raw, twang-heavy style of country music forged by Buck Owens and Merle Haggard as a counterpoint to Nashville's polished production. Historic honky-tonks and dance halls along the city's strip once hosted the steel guitar and Telecaster-driven bands that defined the genre. The legacy endures in a present-day scene that continues to honor its country roots while nurturing rock, Americana, and regional Mexican music.
