Thomas Archer is a multi-platinum country music hit songwriter. A native of Georgia, he discovered his love for music when he was growing up. His roots run deep and his passion for music evolved when he was young while watching both of his grandfather’s play guitar and sing to all of Hank Williams, Sr. songs.
