The Red Clay Strays on Their Unlikely Rise and Faith-Fueled Album 'Grateful'
By
Josh Crutchmer
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
The Red Clay Strays, a Southern rock/country band from Alabama, have unexpectedly risen to become Nashville's latest heroes. Frontman Brandon Coleman and his bandmates discuss their organic rise to fame, their refusal to be confined to a single genre, and the role of their Christian faith in their music. Their new album 'Grateful' reflects their spiritual journey and gratitude, while the band emphasizes unity and getting along in a divided world. Despite their sudden success, they remain grounded country boys making music on their own terms.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledWe're country boys. We were all raised in the South, and we were all raised on country music. But we just make whatever noise we make when we make our art, and it's too exhausting to try to stick to a genre.
It's too exhausting to try to stick to a genre.
We want you all to get along.
