Rev. Hollywood, the son of classical pianist and Christian recording artist, Carol Hinton, first laid hands on a six string at age ten. By sixteen Archie was a regular in the Miami & Ft. Lauderdale music scene working the Spring Break circuit and laying down licks with the Intrigues in local bars and night clubs.

His love of music led him to Tallahassee and a degree from the FSU School of Music. Upon graduation he relocated to Boulder, Colorado and toured the Midwest circuit for four years from Great Falls, Montana to Brownsville, Texas  with Joe Cool and Orion.

Archie later moved to Los Angeles to do session work until forming the band Pipe Dream and rejoining the mainline American music scene. While touring the southwest with Pipe Dream, he backed and played concerts with such notable bands as Iron Butterfly, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, The Grass Roots, The Coasters, The Association, and even laid the guitar licks behind the nation's top Elvis impersonator!

After two decades of touring, Archie tired of the road and took a hiatus to start his own business. After six successful years, he sold the business and returned to Tallahassee to start another business and be near his family. After several dormant years, Archie again felt the call of the muse and began playing and writing music again. Good Karma and the hand of a friend caused him to cross paths with Bodega Bob and the rest is history.

Archie's original songs are artfully crafted from the precious metal of life's stark experiences and, as often as not, cured in the furnace of quirky imagination. His extensive background in the studio and with major touring bands provides Trigger Happy with a musical diversity and precision unrivaled in other regional trios.  His crystal clear tenor vocal lines, smoothly blended harmonies, and intricate lead riffs masterfully carve the detail of the distinct Trigger Happy sound.
