⬇️ ARCHIE LEE HOOKER ⬇️
(7CD/DVD)
He was the son of a sharecropper, and up until age thirteen, that was
the life he was accustomed to. That all changed when he headed up north
and found himself standing in the big city of Memphis, Tennessee. The
paved roads and city lights felt like a new world to Archie, one that
was filled with opportunities. Inspired by the Memphis music scene, it
didn’t take long for Archie to begin singing with his first gospel group
called “The Marvellous Five.”
However, December of 1989 was when his passion for Blues started to
surface. During this time, Archie lived with his uncle, John Lee (the
Boogieman himself) until his death in 2001. Being surrounded by him and
other committed, talented, and influencing musicians is what became the
catalyst for Archie to crave sharing his own life experiences through
music and leave his lasting impressions.
Though Archie left for France in 2011 to join Carl Wyatt & The Delta
Voodoo Kings to tour Europe, he eventually chose to seek the right
musicians to have on his side. He wanted a team that resembled family,
chemistry, and a bond unlike any other. Once he found them, Archie
founded the Archie Lee Hooker & The Coast to Coast Blues Band, which
was specially named after the late John Lee’s Coast to Coast Blues Band.
Since then, the crew has done nothing but thrive and impress.
They released their first album called ‘Chilling’ under the French label
Dixiefrog in 2018, which received a 5-star review in Rolling Stone
Magazine. Fast forward to today, they have recorded a new 12 song CD
called ‘Living in a Memory’, and this all-original playlist of
storytelling art is set to be released through Dixiefrog worldwide on
April 16th, 2021.
In the end, every song and performance that Archie Lee Hooker & The
Coast to Coast Blues Band creates paints an incredible picture that
inevitably provokes uplifting emotional influences and invested
attraction. They are entirely passionate about delivering remarkable
music, and continuously provide fully authentic productions that have
shaped them to become what they are today. With their immense drive and
determination, it is exciting to see what they will launch next.
