Another promo pic dug out of the archives, a 1992 photo of the Arc Angels. Formed in Austin, TX, the Arc Angels were a joining of the forces being guitar heavy weights Charlie Sexton and Doyle Bramhall II along with drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon (the rhythm section of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble). The group came together at the Austin Rehearsal Center (ARC) while Sexton had been working on his next solo album. Layton also had a drum room there where he would often practice. The initial idea had been to create a band that can jam when people happened to be in town or when Layton and Shannon were not on tour with Stevie. After Stevie's passing, the band became more of an musical outlet. But they soon found they dug the idea of being in a band together, as Sexton and Bramhall put aside their solo projects and started writing specifically for the Arc Angels.
