Bridging the gap between rock & roll, roadhouse Americana, and the musical sounds of the southwestern United States, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers have carved their own path over 20 years. They've traveled the world, sent eight albums to the top of the Billboard heatseekers Internet Sales Chart, launched an annual music festival in Mexico, started their own line of ultra-premium tequilas and built a global community of music-lovers and peacemakers — all while remaining 100% independent. The Peacemakers have always looked forward, though, and the summer of 2017 promises another album. Produced by Grammy winning legend Steve Berlin, It'll be the band's tenth studio record, shining new light on a band that's built a career on setting the traditions, twang, and taller-than-life characters of the Southwest to a rock & roll soundtrack. Up until 2000, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers were known as "The Refreshments" and In spring 2017, the band will appear in a documentary about their whirlwind time as The Refreshments. Two decades after its release, The Refreshments debut album, "Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy," continues to influence a wide range of rock and country musicians, 12 of whom put their own stamp on the album's music with an upcoming, all-star tribute recreation of the iconic album.
The band's roots run deep, sinking back to a time when The Refreshments — the hometown heroes of Phoenix during the mid-1990s, fueled by a major-label deal with Mercury Records, a popular song ("Banditos") on American rock radio, and the unique distinction of being both the composers and performers of theme song for the culture favorite King of the Hill TV show — introduced Roger Clyne's songwriting to a national audience. The Refreshments sang about Mexico, liquored-up bandits, and troubadours, mixing the lore of the American Southwest with guitar muscle and pop/rock melody. Clyne deepened that sound with The Peacemakers, relying not on a record label for support, but on near-constant touring and a rare, genuine connection with fans
