Motels and Hotels are filled, rental homes and rooms are booked, and the lines at the grocery stores are longer. Does it irritate me? A little bit, but the joy of knowing this Festival at Empire Polo Club is putting Indio, and by extension our Eastern Valley on the map for so many, far outweighs the irritation.
To quote Goldenvoice president, Paul Tollet, who founded Stagecoach in 2007, “Just the whole Bakersfield sound. The whole Flying Burrito Brothers-era of country rock out in the desert. There is something unique about that sound that IS California.”
