The Journey Begins
The band formed back in 2016 and started off playing cover songs and small gigs, often struggling in the early days to attract larger audiences. However, it didn’t take long for their unique sound and passionate performances to catch on. Fast forward to now, the Red Clay Strays are preparing for a significant upgrade in their venues, transitioning from gigs where attendance often dwindled to the double digits to headlining at some of the most prestigious venues in the country.
