The Red Clay Strays

The Red Clay Strays are playing the Lenovo Center in Raleigh on Friday, January 22, 2027, as part of their Way Too Long Tour. The show starts at 7 PM.

Coming out of Mobile, Alabama, the band plays a mix of country and southern rock. Their debut album, Moment of Truth, is what put them on the map and helped them become one of the fastest-rising acts in the country. Since then, they've played some of the biggest festivals on the circuit, including HWY 30 Fest, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, CMA Fest, and Under the Big Sky. They've also spent time opening for artists like Kip Moore, Nikki Lane, Old Crow Medicine Show, Elle King, Dierks Bentley, and Eric Church, and they've been welcomed to the Grand Ole Opry.

The Raleigh date is part of the Way Too Long Tour, the band's first major headlining tour. They've described the tour as being built around their own explosive rock-n-roll sound, so this is them taking center stage rather than playing a supporting slot. On stage, you'll find Brandon Coleman on lead vocals and guitar, Drew Nix on vocals, electric guitar, and harmonica, Zach Rishel on electric guitar, Andrew Bishop on bass, and John Hall on drums.

If you're into southern rock and country that leans more toward the loud end of the spectrum, this is the one to keep on your radar. The show is Friday, January 22, 2027, at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, starting at 7 PM.
