The Southern Gateway to the Central Valley, Bakersfield, approximately 100 miles north of Los Angeles, is the 11th largest city in California and one of the fastest growing regions in the nation. Steeped in music history, the city is the birthplace of the country music genre known worldwide as the” Bakersfield Sound.”
The genre is commonly described as a crisp mix of guitar, drums, fiddle, and steel guitar – a departure from the string orchestras and studio production tricks used in Nashville. The most well known Bakersfield Sound artists include Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and Don Rich. The sound evolved when the dust bowl roared across the central plains of Texas and Oklahoma in the 1930’s, and many families packed up and moved west to California. Those families may have left the plains, but they did not leave behind their love of country music.
Bakersfield, in Kern County generates 76 percent of the state’s oil supply and ranks third among all counties in the United States in agriculture-related production. From museum exhibits to a variety of regional attractions and its proximity to National Parks, Bakersfield has something for everyone.
Apparently, that includes seniors. According to government sources, Bakersfield and its surrounding areas boast 97 facilities that include assisted living facilities, nursing homes, Alzheimer’s Care centers, Adult foster care or In-home care.
