We sadly announce the passing of our local Country Legend, a man who helped shape country music, Buck Owens 76 years old. Buck Owens drove home on Saturday night after performing at The Crystal Palace then passed in his sleep at his home in North Bakersfield. He was loved by many and will be missed.
Since coming to Bakersfield we had a plan to use our Dinner-For-Two tickets at Buck Owens Crystal Palace SteakHouse, but never found the "right time". Even though Buck won't be there any longer we plan to go soon to pay our respects and watch Buck's Band The Buckaroo's play.
If you want to listen to some Buck Owens tunes, watch a few video clips and see what's happening in Bakersfield, on KUZZ Radio and at the Crystal Palace click HERE or the picture below.
