Roger Clyne
HIDEAWAY BBQBy all accounts, Roger Clyneformer Refreshment and now head sheriff for the Peacemakersloves his tequila. But to call him the Sammy Hagar of rootsy-rock would be missing the mark. With the band's Arizona address and corner on snappy pop hooks, it's more like the Gin Blossoms of rootsy rock. We hear that Clyne and company roll out the kind of sweaty and action-packed live show that will intoxicate you, no matter what you're drinking. Kindred spirits Shurman open. Tickets are $15 for the 8:30 p.m. show. Rick Cornell
