number of metropolitan amenities as the city grows and grows.
Culture
As with many cities in the Central Valley of California, many Bakersfield residents have ancestors who
migrated to the area from the Midwest during the Dust Bowl. In John Steinbeck's historical novel The
Grapes of Wrath, Bakersfield is one of the locations that the protagonists pass through.
In the 1950s, local country musicians such as Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and Wynn Stewart helped
invent a rock and roll-influenced country music style called the Bakersfield sound. Their influence was
so great that Bakersfield is second only to Nashville, Tennessee, in country music fame. Rock groups
Korn, Adema, and Orgy were also formed in Bakersfield.
