Biography
Of the most recent up-and-coming country acts, few have been as refreshing as The Red Clay Strays.
While their style has a classic feel and their sound is reminiscent of days gone by, their songs are pristine, their words irresistibly singable and their delivery effortlessly cool.
With the release of their 2022 debut Moment of Truth, the South Alabama-formed five-piece – made up of frontman Brandon Coleman, guitarists Drew Nix and Zach Rishel, bassist Andrew Bishop, and drummer John Hall – certainly proved their moment had come.
They quickly dazzled listeners with their trademark country-fied rock, their smooth, slicked-back ‘Wondering Why’ and their guttural, fired-up ‘Stone’s Throw’ becoming instant favorites from the album.
Throughout 2023, the band continued to awe, treating crowds to their confident and controlled performances onstage at major festivals, as support for some pretty notable stars and during their own headlining trek.
This new year is set to play out much the same for The Red Clay Strays, with 2024 seeing the outfit extend their 28-date headlining run through February and take on even more festival stages beginning in the spring.
Here’s to hoping new music will be in their future, as well.
