About the Red Clay Strays

Hailing from Mobile, Alabama, the Red Clay Strays - Brandon Coleman (lead vocals, guitar), Drew Nix (guitar and vocals), Zach Rishel (guitar), Andrew Bishop (bass) and John Hall (drums) - bonded as young, working-class men raised on Lynyrd Skynyrd riffs.

With a sound straddling fiery Southern rock riffs, tender-hearted soul music and tried-and-true country crooning, the Strays rose from backroad Gulf Coast gigs to become a sought-after act in country and rock circles. The band self-released its debut album, "Moment of Truth," in 2022.
