The Red Clay Strays

The Red Clay Strays were great! This was my second time seeing them this year! My previous show was at an outdoor venue in Sanford, FL. In the 5 months since my prior show they’ve become an even tighter group and have put out more original music. They’re a great band to see live! Highly recommend!

Best Concert I have ever seen and I have seen many Rock and Country concerts in my time. These boys played their hearts out and left us with a mind blowing Experience. Nolan Taylor should be a headliner already, he is that good. I loved the Ryman Auditorium with the great acoustics. I hope to come back and tour it in the future.

Band are absolutely fantastic live, only problem I had was venue changed, which I wasn't notified of by ticket master until on our way, so when we got there it was super busy and literally couldn't see the band at all, only hear them, which we where gutted about. Sounded brilliant live tho

The music of RCS’s is OUTSTANDING, 5/5 stars! My 3/5 rating is due me feeling jipped. They only played for an hour, no encore, negligible interaction with the excited crowd that was singing along with every song. They came, they played, were adored by the crowd and were like peace-out by 60 min, lights on game over. Was my first time at Val Air, maybe they only book abbreviated shows? For me, I was just blissfully loving it, anticipating more of their Songs, when they were suddenly done and the lights came on,

First the Artist: GREAT show!! Now I can see why MANY of their shows are Sold Out!! Very clean sound. [This is compliments to their Sound Techs too!] All the musicians sounded fantastic! The drummer was off his chain! Haaaa. LOT of crowd participation. At a few points, Brandon would stop signing little snip-its of a few songs & the audience would gladly fill in & it was perfect timing on his part! Heck, you could have closed your eyes & you'd think you're listening to their LP in your living room! Yes, they sounded that clean & this is rare at a live event! Really like how Brandon had introduced everyone on stage AND including their sound people & managers. In my 30+ years of attending shows, I have never seen a band introduce their people working the mixing boards & their management! What I thought was odd, after EVERY song, Brandon Coleman [Lead Singer] had to adjust his guitar. Sure this had to do with the tuning of said upcoming song, but it did call for minutes of just silence after every song. Well, you had your occasional yelling from the crowd :) Felt bad for one of the guitarist, because he kept having difficulties with his cordless pack & the guitar tech kept having to come out there, but that's what makes a live show, Live! As for the venue: This, honestly, isn't a fan favorite of mine mainly because of the '21 & over metal barrier' that separates the under/over crowds. IF by chance there were to be a LOT of pushing/moshing [yes, I know...Not at this particular show], people are going to get hurt! And I never understand why concert venues funnel everyone out 1 exit, when there are multiple ones?! Maybe staffing? I don't know. Lastly, IF you're one of those people that are on the fence of deciding if you want to see them or not...I would say...GO! DON'T hesitate & this is coming from a guy that his wheelhouse is Heavy Metal! Their shows are Sold out for a reason!

I've seen videos, I've played their music on Pandora. They are AMAZING in person!!! I was MORE excited to see RCS than the band they were opening for at CFD lol. I can wait to see MORE of RCS and I look first to their new release coming out soon!!! Such an iconic sound and look!! LOVE RCS!!!!

I am a huge fan of music and cool venues and I listen to a lot and have been to many different venues. Up until last night, my all time favorite concert was two years ago, Zach Bryan at Jacob's Pavilion in Cleveland, Ohio, but last night, oh my word....The Red Clay Strays at the Bluestone in Columbus....there are just no words to do the venue nor the band and the fans justice. What an amazing venue and absolutely one of the finest talents I have personally witnessed in my short 57 years on this earth. I look forward to my next TRCS Show....I pray your journey is as blessed as the blessing we received from you.

The Red Clay Strays set at Gillette was incredible. I’d wanted to see them for sometime now and was waiting and hoping they’d play near Maine. I was incredibly grateful to have seen them open for The Stones. I plan on seeing this group any chance I get! Such a greatly talented bunch of fellas.

Red Clay Strays!! Best new band. Brandon’s voice is a true original while the band is giving a classic “Sun Records” feel. This music could be straight outa 1959 rockabilly/blues/country. Think Elvis Sun Records era. Amazing energy and sound at one of the most beautiful concert venues in the world. The Turnpike Troubadours did not disappoint with classic country storytelling.

My grown kids would not let me go, said I could not stand that long, all that was available. So they went and said best concert ever. Sorry I missed it. But I made them get me a t shirt but they didn’t get it signed like I requested. Oh yes, I stayed home with the grandkids. Maybe next time guys, but a 71 year needs to sit down some. Sorry I missed it.

I think the venue could have been better equipped and things could have been smoother. For instance it was pouring down rain but no matter the weather they should have had lines made with ropes (amusement park) so we could have made lines under what covering they did have. I was not VIP but you would think they would have tents for them to stand under instead of the pouring rain or weather conditions. And inside the venue they should have bigger fans and actually turn them on to circulate the air. The drinks and merch table were all close together so the lines were wrapped around and very confusing on what you were in line for. OKKKK for the RED CLAY STRAYS!!! OMG they are the best. So mesmerizing to watch. We loved the whole vibe. They brought you to church and then back to a honkytonk. We are officially groupies and cant wait to see them at the Ryman.

The Red Clay Strays are AWESOME in any venue honestly, but the Druid Music City Hall was a perfect location for a smaller scale show, and offers a very intimate feel with any artists. The "Way Too Long" tour for the Red Clay Strays has just kicked off, and they have a wide variety of locations across the country to see their shows in both large and small venues. The Druid City Music Hall has a very clean facility, the bar staff and organizers were great and the security was SUPERB! I would happily attend another event there, and HOPE that The Red Clay Strays come back next year for another SOLD OUT show! Thank you, Downtown Cindy Brown

Great show! The Red Clay Strays are the real deal! The band sounds AMAZING live and they put on an incredible show! We brought our family 7 hours to the concert and they did not disappoint! From 16 to 55 years old and we all love The Red Clay Strays. We have seen them two times and can’t wait for the next time!!!!

RCS is an awesome Band! The & opening act was Sam Morrow & they both put on a great show. RCS played well over 2 hours. The Last Concert Cafe is a good venue, and convenient to get in/out of (even with construction near). Tacos a Go-Go had a taco stand there (yummy.) Great service from the staff at the Last Concert Cafe. The Valet service was great too, but the lot is small so get there early if you are going to Uber. I can't wait to see RCS & Sam Morrow again. We will gladly return to see great music at this place.

RCS killed it. Incredible show and they played for nearly 2.5 hours! Absolutely worth driving in from out of town and standing for hours to see them from the front row. They’re blowing up and it was amazing to see them in a somewhat more intimate venue before they move on to bigger stages.

We have seen The Red Clay Strays three times and each time gets better. You can see how much they enjoy what they do. I've been to some amazing concerts in my time but this was by far the best. The venue was beautiful and felt like it added to the experience.

The show was Absolutely amazing The Red Clay Strays are ready to explode. The venue was a little disorganized to be honest and the box office Gal was not friendly at all she alone would make me consider going to watch a band at a different venue . The audience was the quietest I’ve ever heard at a show.. overall I was there for the Band and they were FANTASTIC

WOW! Coming from Red Rocks to the Morganton Town Festival must have been pretty wild for the Strays but boy were we lucky. Amazing sound mix, just about all of their currents songs and then plenty of new ones as well. A lot of spirituality can be felt at the heart of their music and words. Talking with first timers while leaving is always so cool. Minds are blown at their talent! Can't wait to see you guys in Charlotte or Asheville soon! Cheers, RF

My wife and I have been following the Red Clay Strays for about 3 years and 7 shows. Its great to see them continue growing. They picked up a few more Fans from the Berrien area! They brought it as always then they sat out and enjoyed Craig Morgan. Two more shows in Michigan hope to see the entire set, some Piano and somemore entertainment from John on the drums. Love that dudes energy!

The Strays put on the most electric show I’ve ever been to. Will be going to as many Red Clay Stray shows that I possibly can in the future! The Moxi is a very small, but very neat venue. It is in the upstairs of an old downtown building which makes for a very intimate show experience!
