Roger Meade Clyne (born January 13, 1968) is the lead singer, primary songwriter, and rhythm guitar player for the American rock band Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. His previous bands include The Refreshments and the Mortals.
Clyne and the Peacemakers (also known as RCPM) released their seventh full-length studio album, "The Independent", on April 29, 2014. Clyne's musical career has spanned close to two decades, including several hits with the Refreshments and penning the theme song for the TV show King of the Hill. Clyne also wrote and recorded the victory song for his hometown Major League Baseball club, the Arizona Diamondbacks, entitled The D-Backs Swing.
Much of Clyne's music throughout his career revolves around life in southern and central Arizona. He was born in Tucson and grew up in Tempe where he balanced life as a suburban kid while visiting his grandparents' ranch in southern Arizona. There, he rode horses, herded cattle and fixed fences. As a youth and young adult, his frequent trips south of the border to Mexico have influenced his music. Clyne attended college at Arizona State University, where he played with several bands. Clyne is also a fervent supporter of giving back to the community. Several concerts including RCPM's annual show in Rocky Point, Mexico raise money for charities based in both Rocky Point and Arizona.
The Peacemakers is an 1868 painting by George P.A. Healy. It depicts the historic March 28, 1865, strategy session by the Union high command on the steamer River Queen during the final days of the American Civil War.
In March 1865, General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant invited President Lincoln to visit his headquarters at City Point, Virginia. By coincidence, Major General William Tecumseh Sherman (then campaigning in North Carolina) happened to visit City Point at the same time. This allowed for the war's only three-way meeting of President Lincoln, General Grant, and General Sherman. Also present was Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter, who wrote about the meeting in his journal, and later recounted:
The artist was not present at the meeting near Richmond. However, he had previously painted individual portraits of the four men and he had obtained the data from which he worked from General Sherman. In a November 28, 1872 letter to Isaac Newton Arnold, General Sherman wrote:
Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers are a rock band from Tempe, Arizona, USA. The band is typically referred to by the fans as the abbreviation "RCPM". The music is known to cross genres with songs showing an Adult Alternative Rock/Pop/Americana/Reggae/Mariachi influence.
After a lineup shift of The Refreshments, a rock band of the 1990s known for their top radio hit "Banditos," and also for the theme song to the long-running animated series King of the Hill, frontman, rhythm guitarist and songwriter Roger Clyne and drummer Paul "P.H." Naffah retooled and set out under the moniker Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers.
Roger Clyne and P.H. Naffah were originally joined by former Gin Blossom Scott Johnson, who left to rejoin his former band in 2002. Also in the mix was Steve Larson, former guitarist for another Tempe band, Dead Hot Workshop, who had already been playing with The Peacemakers by that time. In January, 2009 it was announced that Steve Larson would be departing The Peacemakers and would be replaced by Railbenders frontman, Jim Dalton, on lead guitar.

Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers Live at Water Street Music Hall - Rochester NY 6/27/12 Full show. Amateur shot footage with an inexpensive Alesis Videotrack handheld. Stage left, about 20-25 feet away. Video quality kind of poor but watchable, audio is better. One glitch in the recording is that the song "Counterclockwise" is incomplete, as the recorder stopped and was then restarted. Great set by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. Kudos to Chaney Bryant for filling in on bass guitar for this leg of the tour as Nick Scropos is at home awaiting the birth of his child. Hometown show for guitarist Jim Dalton. Roger opens the show with "Heaven on a Paper Plate" and sings the wrong verse. Roger passes a bottle of his Mexican Moonshine tequila out to the crowd to share. About a half hour into...

A native Arizonan, Roger Clyne's music embodies the true spirit of life in the Sonora Desert. Since 1996, when his former band, The Refreshments, released their major debut album "Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy," Clyne has been touring the world, sharing the rock n' roll sound of the American Southwest. Jarrett Bellini - also a native Arizonan - sat down with Roger before a recent show at Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta to talk about growing up in the Grand Canyon State, the history of tequila, and much more.
