Looking at the Character Themes in the Compendium... here are a few that seem to fall into what you are looking for:
Athasian Minstrel
Beguiler
Fatedancer
Harper Agent
The closest one of these seems to be Athasian Minstrel. From the first paragraph:
The minstrels of Athas are entertainers to the wealthy and powerful elite of the city-states. Singers, acrobats, poets, dancers, and storytellers, minstrels tour the cities of Athas in troupes or individually, making a living with their wits and talents. The civilized peoples of Athas have long celebrated minstrels, and by tradition all but the poorest or most suspicious of hosts are proud to open their doors to traveling performers. Hosting a minstrel or sponsoring a troupe’s performance reflects well on the host, and most Athasians are eager to forget their troubles with a few hours of song and dance. Nobles often send troupes of minstrels to one another as gifts; it is seen as a great insult to refuse such a gift, even when all involved know that minstrels are often spies or assassins.
Obviously you would probably need to strip out all the Dark Sun references (as Athas is from DS)... but the actual theme makes sense for a trouper or entertainer. And all the powers and abilities you get are all focused around melee and ranged weapons vs. AC, which would go along with your desire for an archer ranger. You can either pick up the 4E Dark Sun Campaign Setting or sign up for DDI for a month to get the info.
(Obviously I won't copy and paste all the abilities here as that is probably against the ToS of either ENWorld or WotC or both).
