I recently had the pleasure of recording a few demo videos at Hollywood To Go, with Sean Costas. Sean is a pro and made me feel at ease in his studio – hopefully that comes out in the vidoes:
Me and My Buddy Abes
This highly autobiographical blues-bluegrass breakdown captures the kinetic restlessness of youth, but it’s no melancholy look back. “Time stands still in Nowheresville, and then it flies.”
Music and lyrics (c) 2017 Bruce Archer | Video production by Sean Costas, Hollywood to Go
Rosie the Nights
Rosie the Nights explores the idyllic dreams shared among friends on the brink of adulthood and wondering if those friends would still recognize each other after time and experience had changed them. Music and lyrics (c) 1991 Bruce Archer | Video production by Sean Costas, Hollywood to Go
Little Red Rooster
An original take on the blues classic. I first heard this at a young age on The London Howlin’ Wolf Sessions album, and it made a strong impression. I was drawn back to it as I developed my finger picking and bottle neck slide techniques and love for the blues masters.
