Folk Lure: Southern California

California is the last and final stop for roots and Americana music, and Calicountry reflects the starry-eyed dreaming and free-love rambling of the Golden State itself. Los Angeles is the sound’s undisputed epicenter. Join Museyon Guide Jessica Hundley as she explores L.A. and its surrounding sister cities of Bakersfield, Joshua Tree, Pioneertown, and the neighborhoods of Topanga and Laurel Canyons to find the places that inspired artists from Roy Rogers and Gram Parsons to Merle Haggard to Neil Young.
