Enjoy an evening on the heated patio at one of Palm Desert most fun and festive Mexican restaurants. Sip a margarita, or full bar, and a huge menu while watching local line dancers and two-steppers take to the dance floor. Or, participate yourself! I am filling in for the Desert Suite Country band's lead singer who has been under the weather. Kristi should be back next week. This 5-piece band plays a lot of old school country, and consists of acoustic guitar, banjo, electric guitar, bass, drums and pedal steel guitar. Band leader John Penn has been a long-time friend and music colleague of mine.
