The Americans are known for their role as the house band on Jack Black’s American Epic documentary series, where contemporary artists record 1920’s era songs using the technology of that time. Singer Patrick Ferris is credited as an associate producer on the show.
He explains: "The band got involved with the film early, and were the first to record a song direct-to-disc with the newly-rebuilt 1920s-era Western Electric amplifier and Scully lathe. We became a house band for the film, backing up other artists and filling in here and there. Zac played guitar in Ana Gabriel's segment, and Jake provided jug on Nas' and Jack White's rendition of the Memphis Jug Band's ‘On The Road Again.’ I played guitar with Taj Mahal on Charley Patton's ‘High Water Everywhere’."
