Artist Bio:
Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers is an Alt-Country/Rock band from Tempe, Arizona, USA. The band is typically referred to by the fans as "The Peacemakers" or by the abbreviation "RCPM". The Peacemakers' music is known to cross genres, with some songs showing a more Country influence, and others sounding more like a modern pop song. More recently, the bands influences have included more of a Reggae/South of the Border influence.
Roger Clyne's lyrics frequently showcase his Southwestern roots, and frequently imply images of cowboys, Federales, and references to Mexico and places in Arizona, amongst other Southwestern references.
After the demise of The Refreshments, a semi-successful rock band of the 1990s whose top radio hit was "Banditos," former frontman Roger Clyne and drummer Paul "P.H." Naffah formed a new band that would be called Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.
The two were joined by former Gin Blossom, Scott Johnson; Steve Larson, former guitarist for another Tempe band, Dead Hot Workshop; and bass player Danny White.
The Peacemakers tour heavily, both as a headlining band and opening for national acts such as Sammy Hagar and John Fogerty.
The Peacemakers have recently taken to incorporating a horn section of sorts in their live shows, primarily including Jason Boots, a member of the crew on trumpet, along with various other members of the crew and other friends, at different times.
