The Apache Relay was an American folk-rock band based out of Nashville, Tennessee. The band consisted of Michael Ford Jr (singer/guitarist), Mike Harris (guitar), Brett Moore (mandolin, organ), Steve Smith (drums), Kellen Wenrich (fiddle) and Ben Ford (bass and vocals).[1] The band's name originated from a race-competition scene in the movie Heavyweights.[2]

History

[edit]

Formed in a dorm at Belmont University, they released the concept album 1988 in 2009 under the moniker "Michael Ford Jr. & the Apache Relay", later dropping the frontman's name for their follow-up 2011 album American Nomad.[3][4] They opened for a number of Mumford & Sons tour dates, appeared at numerous music festivals, and a song from the album, "Power Hungry Animals" was used in the 2013 comedy film The Way Way Back.[5]

In 2014 they released the single "Katie Queen of Tennessee" from their eponymous 2014 album The Apache Relay.[6] They also recorded a cover of the Bruce Springsteen song "Cover Me" for the Dead Man's Town: A Tribute to Born in the U.S.A. compilation album.[7]
