John Popper of Blues Traveler (although our favorite Popper role is as himself on the HBO series Z Rock) livened up The Cringe’s otherwise banal set at the Rachael Ray party on a cold, gloomy Saturday. And although most of the crowd wasn’t too impressed with Ray’s husband’s band, the afternoon got a whole lot rowdier when the loveably wild and irrepressible Andrew W.K. took the Stubb’s stage a little after 1 p.m.
