Archertown

Archertown was founded after a chance meeting between Kyle Archer and Natalie Archer (then Natalie Distler) in a New York City recording studio. The couple started performing as a duo and signed their first production deal shortly thereafter. During this time Natalie was also busy with her career as an actress, most notably starring on the hit FX television series Rescue Me alongside Denis Leary for seven years.


After the series came to an end, the duo signed a publishing deal as a writing team and decided to make the move to Nashville to further pursue their music career. Their original songs have been featured on numerous television shows including the series Nashville.


Life sometimes doesn’t go as planned, and after Natalie was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, Kyle and Natalie decided to leave Nashville for a fresh start and to be closer to family in Montana. They took their first hiatus from music, taking time to heal and move forward with a different future than they had planned for themselves.


It wasn’t until they became pregnant with their son, something they were told might never be possible, that they were inspired to start writing and playing music again. As luck may have it, Kyle’s best friend from college and old bandmate, John Kaye, had recently moved to Montana with his family as well, and the three began playing as a trio.
