Mexican Moonshine Tequila with Roger Clyne and P.H. Naffah of the Peacemakers
Episode 46 : The Wine Down
Episode Synopsis
Roger Clyne and P.H. Naffah join the Wine Down to play some killer songs and share some of Roger’s tequila, Mexican Moonshine, along with the story of how P.H. broke Roger’s ribs.
We discuss the music biz and writing the King of the Hill theme, before tasting some of Roger’s fine bottled creativity. Roger and P.H. also treat us to a couple great performances and even run through the theme song that is so recognizable.
Guest Bio
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 and the Peacemakers.
Roger has been equally passionate about creating Mexican Moonshine Ultra Premium Tequila, and the label has been the recipient of the “Best of the Best Award,” from Tequilla.net.
