Recording Stand Up was one of the greatest experiences of our creative journey. What a joy and enormous privilege to collaborate with the likes of Larry Muhoberac (Elvis Presley's former band leader), John Guess (known for engineering Christopher Cross's multi-Grammy-winning Sailin'), Billy Preston (known as the fifth Beatle who played mad b-3 and killer keys on "God Loves You"), and the legendary Andrae and Sandra Crouch Singers (featured on "Pickin' Up the Pieces"). Stand Up was recorded in four of the finest and storied recording studios in Hollywood and featured many of the greatest studio musicians of our generation. Most importantly we enjoyed a rare spirit of unity, creativity, and shared purpose from beginning to end.
The only Archers project to come out of Tim Archer's label, Strait Ahead, All Systems Are Go was co-produced by Skip Conte (Three Dog Night) and Tim and Steve Archer.

She sings the lead vocal on It Wouldn't Be Enough (written by Archers cousin Donnie Aldridge), a song that both Tim and Steve will to this day tell you "really put The Archers on the map."

Things We Deeply Feel is the last Archers album to feature original female vocalist Nancye Short Tsapralis. She sings the lead vocal on It Wouldn't Be Enough (written by Archers cousin Donnie Aldridge), a song that both Tim and Steve will to this day tell you "really put The Archers on the map." The project features a wide range of pop styles, including The Archers' one and only country song (You Are My Inspiration). The contributions of legendary bassist Leland Sklar add texture and dynamics, elevating the entire project.

Here are some things you should know about this exciting group! Since their beginning five years ago, they have covered most of the U.S., most of Canada, and over to Europe. A youth music festival is hardly complete without the Archers. Kids love them, and they love kids. You'll find music in this collection for every taste. They are versatile and dynamic as musicians and communicators. Refreshing has been the word audiences use to describe them. Like an arrow hits the target, this new Archers' album is right on." --Ralph Carmichael
