Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace is a hipster, honkytonk, barbecue restaurant and a world famous brothel near Joshua Tree National Park in Pioneertown, California. It can be accessed via California State Route 62 and is four miles northeast of Yucca Valley.
Pioneertown, a faux-Western town in the high desert, was built 25 miles north of Palm Springs, California in 1946 by a group of entertainers for the cowboy actors, Roy Rogers and Gene Autry.[1] "Mane Street" was decorated with facades of a Western saloon, bank, chapel, and a cantina. Pioneertown and its cantina were used in more than 50 films and television programs throughout the 1940s and '50s including The Cisco Kid and Judge Roy Bean.[1][2]
The Cantina, 1972-1982
In 1972 Francis and John Aleba purchased the Cantina set and named it "The Cantina". It was a favorite destination for biker gangs for ten years.
Pappy & Harriet's, 1982 onward
In 1982 Alebas' daughter, Harriet, and her husband, Claude 'Pappy' Allen, bought The Cantina and renamed it Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace. Harriet's granddaughter, Kristina Quigley, made frequent singing appearances which contributed to a family-oriented atmosphere.
When Pappy Allen died in 1994, hundreds of mourners from around the world attended his memorial, including Victoria Williams who later recorded a song "Happy to Have Known Pappy" for her Atlantic Records release, "Loose."
After briefly being owned by local airplane pilot Jay Hauk, Pappy and Harriet's was bought in 2003 by Robyn Celia and Linda Krantz, who still operate it today.
In the summer of 2006, the Sawtooth Complex fire threatened Pappy & Harriet's as well as the whole of Pioneertown. However, the town and the club were spared despite the fire burning 50 homes and over 60,000 acres of desert.[3][4]
Notable performers
Billboard Magazine named Pappy & Harriet's one of the Top Ten Hidden Gems in the Country in its 2012 Best Clubs issue. The club attracts artists and musicians from all over the world.
Performers who have appeared at Pappy & Harriet's include Eric Burdon, Joe Ely, Lucero (band), Bonnie Raitt, Les Claypool, Lucinda Williams, Leon Russell, Arctic Monkeys, Jimmy Page, Band of Horses, Sean Lennon, Billy Corgan and the Spirits in the Sky, Vampire Weekend and Wanda Jackson.[1][2] A surprise appearance by Robert Plant in early 2006 led to a jam with the Sunday evening house band, the Thrift Store All Stars, which featured Victoria Williams.
Coachella Festival promoters Goldenvoice Productions and Santa Monica-based NPR station KCRW have presented shows at Pappy & Harriet's, although the majority of booking is generated by the club's co-owner Robyn Celia.
A Monday night Open Mic hosted by musician Ted Quinn features dozens of performers. Most of the Open Mic performers are local or lesser-known traveling troubadours, but many established artists, including Feist, Julie Christensen, Ke$ha, and Matt Costa have also made appearances for this low-key event.
The bands Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven hold an annual outdoor festival, the Summer Camp-Out, at Pappy & Harriet's each year. Americana star Jim Lauderdale performs at Pappy & Harriet's every spring in a show known as "Jim-fest."
The professional footballer Emile Heskey once took the stage there to perform a duet with Daniel Levens from Liverpool. Together they sang a rendition of 'Everything Has Changed' by Taylor Swift.
