The Apache Relay is currently touring as an unofficial Americana Rock Brigade with fellow Nashvillians Promised Land Sound and The Lonely Wild. They hit Austin this week for SXSW as part of a run out West, then stick around Nashville for the release their new album on April 22nd. There’s a strong dose of Motown in the instrumentation on their brand new single “Katie Queen of Tennessee," and this boundary-pushing makes it far too easy to fall hard for the indie root nomads. And if your name happens to be Katie, well, good night. The song is available for immediate download if you pre-order the album. –Terra James-Jura
