Do not miss these boys.

There’s no doubt that The Red Clay Strays have been red-hot the last year. Riding the highs of their sophomore album, Made by These Moments, in 2024, the Alabama group broke out into the mainstream back in November. Not only did they deliver a killer performance of “People Hatin'” at the 59th annual CMA Awards, more importantly, they dethroned Old Dominion as Vocal Group of the Year en route to their first-ever CMA win.

Launching off of their big CMA night, the Strays have kept the pedal to the floor as of late. Not only did they sell out shows at iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden, TD Garden and back-to-back nights at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, but they also released their second single off their upcoming album, “If I Didn’t Know You,” back in February.

They would keep the momentum going even more yesterday. In addition to dropping their highly-anticipated single, “Demons In Your Choir,” Red Clay would finally give fans what they’ve been begging for since it was prematurely leaked by none other than Joe Rogan: the release date for their third album.

Taking to social media yesterday, they officially announced that their third studio album, Grateful, is set to release on Friday, June 5th.

Just in case an album announcement wasn’t enough to satisfy you, the Strays would also announce a massive, 37-show tour behind the album, also named Grateful.

The Grateful Tour will kick off on July 30 in Columbia, Maryland at Merriweather Post Pavilion before wrapping up all the way on November 13 in Atlanta, Georgia at State Farm Arena. Along the way, the Alabama natives will hit major cities and venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York, TD Garden in Boston, Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Bridgestone Arena in Nashville and many more across the U.S. and Canada.

As for openers, the Strays are enlisting a revolving door of talent throughout the lengthy tour. In addition to Travis Tritt and Sierra rounding out the tour with a few shows in the fall, some of the hottest names in the alt. country scene will make appearances, with Dylan Gossett, Wyatt Flores, Muscadine Bloodline, Shane Smith & the Saints and Brent Cobb all opening multiple shows. Additionally,  The Revivalists, Haley Reinhart and Sweet Talk will also take the stage on the tour.

As for presale, members of Red Clay’s fanclub will have first dibs starting Tuesday, April 28th at 9 a.m. local. Artist presale will then begin a day later on Wednesday, April 29th. Finally, general sale will be available to the public on Friday, May 1st. Even more excitingly, you can use our very own presale code, WRREDCLAY, to get early access to this incredibly in-demand tour.
