Visit Bakersfield reports assisting a number of international visitors whose travel plans
have changed because of the Yosemite fire. Summer regularly brings large
numbers of international visitors to nearby national parks and many pass through
Bakersfield. This week alone, Visit Bakersfield has assisted visitors from Denmark,
Spain, Australia and the Netherlands who learned of Yosemite’s closure as they
approached Bakersfield. These visitors stopped to ask for current travel information
and suggestions for things to see and do. Those inquires have resulted in extra hotel
nights in Bakersfield hotels and meals in local restaurants as these visitors realign their
travel plans.
I remain out of the office on vacation next week. Steve Teglia will staff the Council meeting and Chris Huot will be in charge next week. Traffic Advisory
Nighttime Lane Closures on Truxtun Avenue Next Week
Median construction for the Truxtun Avenue Operational Improvements project will
require alternating nighttime lane closures, between Empire Drive and Elm Street, next week. The closures will affect both directions of traffic between the hours of 7 p.m. and
5 a.m., from Monday, August 13 through Friday, August 17. Only one lane will be open to traffic in each direction while this work is underway. Motorists who must travel through
the area during these hours are advised to use an alternate route or allow sufficient time to reach their destinations.
Two lanes will remain open to daytime traffic, but motorists should slow down and
watch for construction personnel and equipment while driving through this area.

Underwood will release her eagerly-anticipated new album, Cry Pretty, on September 14. Cry Pretty
will be her first studio album on Capitol Records Nashville and marks the first time she has co-produced
her own album. The lead single and title track, “Cry Pretty” debuted as the #1 song in the U.S. all-
genres. The song also topped download charts in 38 countries around the world and amassed over 3.5
billion social impressions across 66 countries during its week of launch in April, which was culminated
with a show-stopping performance on the “2018 ACM Awards” telecast. Carrie co-wrote the powerful
single with Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna, and Liz Rose (aka The Love Junkies) and co-produced Cry
Pretty with fellow writer/producer David Garcia.
Following her successful “The Storyteller Tour – Stories in the Round,” the new production will feature
a brand-new stage in the middle of the arena floor, creating a unique 360-degree setting to allow fans on
all sides of the arena an intimate view of the concert. Barry Lather (Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Michael
Jackson) is the tour’s Creative Director, and Nick Whitehouse/Fireplay (Justin Timberlake, Beyonce) is
Production Designer.
“I love performing in the round,” says Underwood. “It’s so much fun for me and the band to play in
every direction and creates a much more intimate and immersive experience for the audience, even in a
larger arena setting. It’s been exciting to introduce audiences to Cry Pretty and I can’t wait to bring the
new album to life on this tour, along with all of the songs we love to play live. I’m thrilled to be going
out with an amazing line-up – Maddie & Tae and Runaway June are incredible artists that are going to
bring even more electricity to our shows.”
“Our customers love getting early access to the best in entertainment, so we are thrilled to be partnering
with Carrie Underwood as the official presale credit card of her 2019 tour,” said Jennifer Breithaupt,
Global Consumer Chief Marketing Officer, Citi.
Underwood has arranged for a donation of $1 from each ticket sold for The Cry Pretty Tour 360 to be
contributed to Danita’s Children, which provides a safe haven for abandoned and vulnerable children in
Haiti, while encouraging families to stay together through their education and malnutrition programs.
Prior to embarking on the tour next Spring, Underwood will appear at the upcoming iHeart Music
Festival in Las Vegas, as well as such international festivals as The Long Road Festival and Radio 2
Live in Hyde Park in the UK, Tuckerville in The Netherlands, and Deni Ute Muster in Australia.
