Stones + Strays

Red Clay Strays announced the soon-to-be-iconic performance on Facebook last week, saying they’ll be opening for the Stones at a show in Boston. At last check, there were still tickets available—so if you’re feeling up to the trek to Boston, you’ll need to be there on May 30.

The announcement was met with excitement from fans—who were largely thrilled to see the group getting their flowers. Many of those commenting had seen the Strays live before and knew the band would make it big one day.

Red Clay Strays started in 2016 and have been taking the Gulf Coast by storm ever since. The group started gaining attention when they opened for acts like Eric Church and Dierks Bentley. An article in, ironically, Rolling Stone further thrust the band into household name territory.

The band has five members:

Brandon Coleman, Lead vocals/guitar
Drew Nix, Vocals/electric guitar/harmonica
Zach Rishel, Electric guitar
Andrew Bishop, Bass
John Hall, Drums

The Strays have been on tour since September of last year, traveling all over the country and even to the United Kingdom. If you’re interested in seeing them on tour, the tour schedule can be found here.
