An old recording of an acoustic number, written for Ego Acoustica. Music and Lyrics by Steve Archer.

Ego Acoustica

Living The Dream

Working on some new material for 2022. This one’s been sat in my notepad for a while.

Make it Clear

Under Your Skin

2. Thunder Road

AS Music Composition piece, based on original song Twisted Game

Sealed With A Kiss

Not Yet

New song I've been working on. Trying to get back into writing songs so if you got things you want me to try, let me know!

Always A Little Further

Track that's been in development for a while, uses recordings from Amadeus (Movie) and interviews with Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Howling Wolf and BB King. 

Though it sounds similar, the riff is not Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box
