The New Relics

The New Relics have been a staple of the East Coast roots-rock and Americana music scene since forming in 2001. Their 2-decades long catalog crosses genres from Jam-Band to Singer-Songwriter, Rock, Country and Americana, pushing the boundaries of genre while fueling their passion of creating emotionally resonant stories and weaving them into well-constructed musical arrangements. 

While touring the East Coast and sharing stages with a diverse array of artists including Zac Brown Band, Sawyer Brown, Craig Morgan, 311, Blessed Union of Souls, Gin Blossoms, The Alternate Routes, Wyclef and Pat McGee Band, The New Relics wrote and recorded 5 studio albums and 2 live albums. The band found commercial success in 2010 with the single release of “Beautiful,” charting as high as #54 on Billboard’s country music chart.

Though many of The New Relics’ arrangements and instrumentation lean more toward frontman Michael J. Arbogast’s Texas Country idols like Pat Green and Randy Rogers Band, TNR found their voice by blending aspects of artists as varied as Amos Lee, Zac Brown, Train, Jason Isbell, John Mayer, Keith Urban, Matchbox 20, Jason Mraz, and The Black Crowes.
