Bakersfield TX

Bakersfield TX is an Austin classic-country and western band led by Jerry Renshaw (guitar/vocals), built for dance floors that still want real Bakersfield and Texas twang. They market themselves as “Texas style twang with plenty of energy”—uptempo country-a-go-go that pulls from the Bakersfield, California sound and Lone Star honky-tonk tradition rather than modern pop-country radio.

The group scales from solo to full band for hire and has a regular footprint in Austin rooms known for two-steppers, including the Broken Spoke and outdoor stages like Moontower Saloon. Live sets lean on shuffles, waltzes, and high-energy country covers and originals that keep dancers moving—think Patsy Cline-to-Roger Miller energy with a Texas bar-band punch.

If you want classic country that prioritizes the floor over the fiddle-synth hybrid of arena country, Bakersfield TX is built for that night.
