WHAT IT IS: Following the breakout single “Wondering Why,” which has garnered 100m+ streams to date, hot roots-rock band The Red Clay Strays have become one of music’s fastest-rising bands. The band—comprising Brandon Coleman, Drew Nix, Zach Rishel, Andrew Bishop and John Hall—dropped their new album, Made by These Moments, on 7/26. Produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb, the record showcases their signature genre-blending sound and adds to a breakthrough year for the Alabama natives, who are nominated for Emerging Act of the Year at the 2024 Americana Awards in the midst of a nationwide headline tour. The Strays will hit the U.S. for the These Moments Tour in September.
