BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — An annual Bakersfield music fundraiser is preparing for a different kind of celebration this year following the closure of one of the city’s most recognizable entertainment venues.
Media Music Jam is returning, but organizers are making changes after the closure of Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace, which previously hosted the event.
The annual fundraiser brings together music and community support, giving attendees an opportunity to enjoy live entertainment while contributing to a local cause.
Kenn McCloud joined Eyewitness News Mornings to discuss the history of Media Music Jam, how the event got its start and what organizers have planned for this year’s celebration.
