Brokedown in Bakersfield

Brokedown in Bakersfield is a collective of acclaimed artists joining forces in a spirited tribute to the Bakersfield sound: California country music made raw and rocking, spiked with twang and sweetened with heart-felt harmonies. First appearing to hundreds of music fans on a sunny Saturday morning at the 2011 High Sierra Music Festival, the group features Lebo of ALO on pedal steel, Scott Law on Telecaster, singer Nicki Bluhm, Tim Bluhm of The Mother Hips on vocals and acoustic guitar, along with rhythm section - Steve Adams of ALO on bass and Dave Brogan, former ALO drummer.

Drawing from the powerful songbooks of Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Gram Parsons, and more, Brokedown in Bakersfield showcases the striking songwriting and instrumentation of guitar slinging country sounds that added oil to the Dust Bowl life of ‘60s- era Southern California - on the road, in the truck, out the back, and at the honky tonk.
