Country came to Tarza-

na Sunday night. Award

winning DJ Mike Benda-vid brought his two-step-

ping crowd to the valley’s

oldest venue for live rock

and roll, Paladino’s, located on Reseda

Blvd, just north of the new busway in a

little mini-mall. On any given night, you

are likely to run into haircut bands in

leather that might have stepped off the

Sunset Strip, adult fi lm stars hanging out

at the bar and every sort of tribute band

from an all female group paying homage

to Led Zeppelin to the Van Halen tribute

band Atomic Punks who also moonlight

as Metal Shop. So I was kind of surprised

to hear they were trying country on Sun-

day nights. Now, if you haven’t been to

Paladino’s in a while, they spruced the

place up, put in a good sound system

and you can get a Hollywood club expe-

rience with a more laid back valley vibe

and reasonably priced drinks.

Mike Bendavid taught line dancing at the

Cowboy Palace in Chatsworth for fi fteen

years and now teaches country dance at

the Sherman Oaks Senior Center. He

and his partner Diana Dover just taught

Tim McGraw how to dance for the up-

coming movie “Flicka” and the two were

featured on the Entertainment TV Reali-

ty show “Chelsea Handler.” On Sunday,

after a BBQ in the parking lot and dance

lessons, Lee Harper took the stage with

a band of veteran players that included

Chad Watson, who was the bassist for

the Charlie Rich Band and now tours

with Freddie Fender, playing guitar and

also a mean trombone. Chad’s wife Pam Loe got onstage and sang a “Teenage

Wedding” that did justice to Emmy Lou

Harris, and Evan Marshall of the Evan

Marshall Band got up and sang “Polk Sal-

ad Annie.” Drummer Jim Salisbury told

me it was only fi tting country was back

at Paladino’s, as the bar was called the

Crest in the early ‘80’s and he played here

in country bands on the weekend back

then. I saw Lyle Mays, who plays key-

boards for Pat Metheny, hanging by the

pool tables, and I realized that Paladino’s

is a place where country, jazz and rock

musicians all feel comfortable. Country

Mike will be back at the club July 30 if

you want to grab your boots and hat and

join him. ✹Seen around the SC: Katherine McPhee

and Nick Cokas at Coldstone Creamery.
