The Red Clay Strays – These Moments Tour Live

Those in search of songs to fuel life’s soundtrack – the highs, the lows and the rest – need to drop a needle on Made by These Moments, the new album from fast-rising Alabama band The Red Clay Strays. The 11-song Made by These Moments chronicles love worth searching for, knock-down fights with self-prescribed demons and a hard-earned faith found by the end of each day.

Hailing from Mobile, Alabama, The Red Clay Strays – Coleman, Drew Nix (guitar and vocals), Zach Rishel (guitar), Andrew Bishop (bass) and John Hall (drums) – straddle fiery Southern rock riffs, tender-hearted soul music and tried-and-true country crooning. The success of 2022 self-released debut LP Moment of Truth – including breakout single “Wondering Why” – led to the Strays inking a deal with RCA Records and enlisting Cobb to produce Made by These Moments. The band and Cobb, who’s recorded Brandi Carlile and Chris Stapleton, among others, cut the album at the producer’s home studio in Savannah, Georgia, largely tracking live in Cobb’s living room.
