Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers (RCPM) are Rocky Point’s most loyal international rock and roll band and, arguably, one of America’s hardest working music makers who have a league of extremely loyal followers. Last year thousands of fans (affectionately called “Peacemakers”) came to our little slice of paradise by the sea from 32 states and 7 countries to rock Circus Mexicus 2012!
Saturday March 9, 2013 begins an exquisitely delightful new era of creative dining in our little slice of paradise by the sea that promises to express the true atmosphere and traditional taste of the two colorful and diverse countries of…
