The Red Clay Strays will release their first live album, Live At The Ryman, November 15 on RCA Records (pre-save here). Recorded earlier this month during the band’s sold-out, three-night headline debut at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, the album showcases the group’s electric live performances and features songs from across their catalogue, including “I’m Still Fine,” which is out today. Listen to “I’m Still Fine (Live At The Ryman)” HERE and watch the performance video HERE.
The record adds to a breakout year for The Red Clay Strays, who are nominated for Vocal Group of the Year at the upcoming 58th Annual CMA Awards (their first CMA nomination), won Emerging Act of the Year at the 2024 Americana Music Association Honors & Awards and released their acclaimed new album, Made by These Moments, earlier this summer (stream/purchase here).
Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell), Made by These Moments is filled with the band’s signature genre-blending sound, as they meld electric rock and roll with southern soul. In celebration of the new music, the band was recently featured on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday, Bert Kreischer’s “The BertCast” and “This Past Weekend with Theo Von.”
One of music’s fastest-rising bands, The Red Clay Strays have sold out every one of their headline shows this year as well as their newly confirmed 2025 Canadian tour. The band will continue to perform through this fall including upcoming shows at Los Angeles’ The Wiltern, Boston’s Roadrunner, Philadelphia’s The Fillmore, Denver’s Mission Ballroom and San Diego’s SOMA among several others. See below for complete tour itinerary.
The Red Clay Strays are Brandon Coleman (lead vocals, guitar, keys), Drew Nix (electric guitar, vocals, harmonica), Zach Rishel (electric guitar), Andrew Bishop (bass) and John Hall (drums). Formed in Mobile, AL in 2016, the group continues to achieve massive success with their Platinum-certified single, “Wondering Why.” With over 100 million streams to date, the track spent a week at #1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 USA Playlist and six-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Americana Singles chart. The song also reached #84 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, #7 on Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart, #16 on the Billboard AAA chart and #18 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and continues to gain support across genres.
“Wondering Why” is from the band’s 2022 album, Moment of Truth, of which Billboard praised, “Lead singer Coleman’s gruff, impassioned vocal shines here as always, bolstered by the group’s exemplary musicianship,” while Rolling Stonedeclared, “the musical manifestation of the push and pull between salvation and redemption…Delta blues, gritty honky-tonk, and Sun Records rockabilly, shot through with a palpable darkness.” Since the release, The Red Clay Strays have also made their Grand Ole Opry debut and toured extensively across the country including shows with Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Elle King and Turnpike Troubadours.
