The Red Clay Strays Announces New Album “Grateful”, Shares New Song “Demons In Your Choir”
Mobile-based rock band The Red Clay Strays, consisting of Brandon Coleman (vocals/guitar), Andrew Bishop (bass), Drew Nix (guitar), John Hall (drums), Zach Rishel (guitar) and Sevans Henderson (keyboards), has announced their upcoming third studio album “Grateful” will be released on June 5, 2026 via HBYCO Records/RCA Records.
It is their first album in two years, following the 2024 album “Made by These Moments”.
From the album, the band released a new song “Demons In Your Choir” on April 23, 2026.
The song is the third single off of the album, following “People Hatin'” and “If I Didn't Know You”.
The track is a deeply personal spiritual rumination unlike anything in their previous body of work.
It was written by Brandon Coleman, Matthew Coleman, and Dakota Coleman. Produced by Dave Cobb.
The accompanying music video was directed by Matthew Coleman and filmed in Mobile.
The band frontman Brandon Coleman said of the song “It’s a different sound. And this is a different-sounding album, genre-wise. It’s a good way to start it.”- The new album comprises 10 tracks, which the band recorded with producer Dave Cobb at his Savannah, GA home studio and the historic RCA Studio A in Nashville.
With “Grateful”, The Red Clay Strays turn survival into jubilation - a celebration of faith, a soundtrack to gratitude, and a clear-eyed reflection of the road traveled along the way.
Brandon Coleman said, “Moment of Truth was a big album about having faith in dark times, looking to a higher power and Made By These Moments focused on realizing those dark times that you were having to have faith through, which made you who you are. You made it through when you didn’t think you would. And now we’re at a point where we’re grateful. Looking to God in whatever situation you’re in is a denominator in all of the albums.”
The band bassist Andrew Bishop added, “The title of the album’s a literal meaning to us at this moment in our careers. We’re grateful for how we came out of Made By These Moments and what we have now.” -
