THE RED CLAY STRAYS’ NEW ALBUM MADE BY THESE MOMENTS OUT TODAY ON RCA RECORDS

July 26, 2024—The Red Clay Strays’ highly anticipated new album, Made by These Moments, is out today on RCA Records. Stream/purchase HERE.

Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell) and recorded at Cobb’s Georgia Mae in Savannah, Made by These Moments is filled with the band’s signature genre-blending sound, as they meld electric rock and roll with southern soul. Across these eleven tracks, The Red Clay Strays explore fundamental elements of the human condition, reflecting on faith, love and redemption.

In celebration of the new music, the band recently performed “No One Else Like Me” on Western AF (watch/share HERE), made their late-night television debut on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” and were featured on Bert Kreischer’sThe BertCast and This Past Weekend with Theo Von.” The band has received glowing critical attention as well. Cowboys & Indians praises, “meets at the confluence of rock ‘n’ roll, country, Delta blues, and gospel to forge soundscapes that serve as a full-fledged spiritual experience;” Live For Live Music notes, “Soaring Skynyrd slide guitar melds with Coleman’s rockabilly falsetto, all cloaked in hat-in-hand Southern humility and a lyrical honesty inherent to roots music;” and Country Central says, “the band continues to captivate audiences with their authentic sound and genuine storytelling.”

Known for their electric live performances, The Red Clay Strays will continue to tour through this fall including upcoming headline shows at Brooklyn’s Brooklyn Paramount, Los Angeles’ The Wiltern, Boston’s Roadrunner, Philadelphia’s The Fillmore, Denver’s Mission Ballroom and San Diego’s SOMA among several others. The band will also make their sold-out, three-night headline debut at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium in September and perform select dates in the U.K. later this summer. See below for complete tour itinerary.

Of the project, lead singer Brandon Coleman shares, “Made by These Moments shines a light on overcoming the battles we face in life like loneliness, depression, and hopelessness. We hope you listen and recognize that our pain has a purpose.”

One of music’s fastest-rising bands, 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 is in the midst of a breakout year, as they’re nominated Emerging Act of the Year at the 2024 Americana Music Awards and continue to achieve massive success with their 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 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 Stone declared, “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.
