Arc Angels

The Profile

Arc Angels are an American blues rock group from Austin formed in 1992 by guitarists/singers Doyle Bramhall II and Charlie Sexton with Double Trouble’s Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon. They released a self-titled debut in 1992 and later issued the live set Living in a Dream (2009).

The debut album emphasizes songs and dual vocals over extended solos, was produced by Little Steven, and includes tracks like Sent By Angels and See What Tomorrow Brings. The initial run was brief; Bramhill II later worked with Roger Waters and Eric Clapton, and Sexton with Bob Dylan.

One in-depth review covers the Arc Angels’ 1992 debut: a polished Texas blues rock album by Doyle Bramhall II, Charlie Sexton, and Double Trouble’s rhythm section. The piece contrasts their song-first approach with Stevie Ray Vaughan’s virtuosity, praises production by Little Steven, and highlights tracks like Sent By Angels. It notes the band’s brief initial run and the members’ later high-profile sideman roles.
