Enjoy Dinner and a Movie on Sunday July 19 at Campus Jax supper club in Newport Beach, Calif.

Mule Kick and Stellar Shows are coming together again, this time to host an advance screening of The Palomino.

Our host for the evening will be James Intveld, one of the key figures who helped to tell the story of the legendary Hollywood nightclub.

Also, filmmakers Adrienne Isom and KP Hawthorn will be on hand for Q&A and with limited edition Palomino documentary merchandise.

This may be your last opportunity to see the most talked-about film dealing with California’s musical history in recent times.

The Sunday event is a fundraiser to help raise finishing funds for the movie, and we thank you for your support!

The story:

Just north of Hollywood, hidden in plain sight on a rustic stretch of Lankershim Boulevard, stood a neon-lit honky tonk that would unexpectedly shape the future of American music.

The Palomino is a vibrant, untold history of the most influential country music venue you’ve never heard of – the beating heart of California Country from 1949 to 1995.

While Nashville claimed tradition, The Palomino built a revolution. This legendary North Hollywood bar became the west coast proving ground for rebels, innovators and outlaws such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash, who rewrote the rules of country music.

Emmylou Harris, Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Williams, Merle Haggard, Elvis Costello, The Pretenders, and George Jones – they all passed through The Pal’s humble doors, and left forever changed.

Beyond the twang and stardom, this is also a story of family, love and personal tragedy, all woven into the fabric of The Palomino’s legendary past through the memories of those who lived it.

Fueled by freedom, grit, and raw talent, The Palomino Club was more than a venue; it was a movement.

Through wild stories, unseen archival footage, and unforgettable performances, this film unearths a secret history where Dust Bowl migrants, movie cowboys and rock ‘n’ roll misfits collided to spark a musical and cultural renaissance.

If not for The Palomino, country music wouldn’t sound – or look – the way it does today.
