The Archers

Comprised of siblings Tim Archer, Steve Archer and Janice Archer Cruse, The Archers quickly rose to international acclaim for their signature harmonies, cutting-edge pop production and commitment to proclaiming the Gospel. Pioneers of the Jesus Music movement of the 1970s, The Archers were the first artist to record Andraé Crouch’s “Jesus Is The Answer,” a genre-defining anthem beloved around the world. Their celebrated discography—which has amassed sales in excess of a million units—also includes such classics as “It Wouldn’t Be Enough”; “Fresh Surrender”; “Pickin’ Up The Pieces”; and “Make Me An Instrument.”

The Archers garnered a 1981 GRAMMY Award for Best Gospel Performance, Contemporary or Inspirational for their contribution to the Reba Rambo and Dony McGuire album The Lord’s Prayer. In addition, the trio made history as one of the first Christian artists ever to perform at the GRAMMY Awards, taking the stage in both 1981 and 1982 during the nationally televised broadcast.

Along with landmark appearances on The Mike Douglas Show and The Jerry Lewis Telethon, The Archers sold out Hollywood’s Universal Amphitheatre; were invited by President Jimmy Carter to perform at The White House; toured with beloved entertainers Pat Boone, Andraé Crouch, The Oak Ridge Boys, and BJ Thomas; and headlined concerts at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and the LA Coliseum, among many other leading venues. As Contemporary Christian genre leaders, the group performed at the historic EXPLO '72 in Dallas, and by 1975 The Archers had appeared at nearly every significant Jesus festival in North America and had toured extensively in Europe.
