Over the last few years, the Red Clay Strays have stayed hard at work when wanting to build the band’s career in country music. Back in 2022, they released their debut album, Moment of Truth. Two years later, the album Made by These Moments hit the airwaves. Between those two albums, they released Live at the Ryman live album. While not releasing a new record in 2025, the Red Clay Strays hit the road with their Get Right Tour and even opened for the Rolling Stones during their Hackney Diamonds Tour. And looking ahead to 2026, the band had no intentions of slowing down.

Given the historic announcement, the Red Clay Strays will bring along Brent Cobb and The Revivalists to celebrate the special occasion.

The Red Clay Strays Planning For More Than Madison Square Garden Concert
While getting to headline at Madison Square Garden is more than enough to make 2026 a special year for the Red Clay Strays, they had more to announce. Appearing on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the band found themselves in a rather interesting position when the host, Joe Rogan, revealed a new album.
During the conversation, Rogan said, “The final product is amazing, and the new album is really f***ing good. It’s coming out in June of next year? Is that when it’s supposed to come out? The press thing I got said June of next year, I was like, ‘This should come out now.’”
Not entirely sure Rogan was supposed to share the news, Brandon Coleman confirmed the news. “We’re shooting for summer of next year. We don’t really know yet.”
While not knowing when the new album comes out, one thing is for certain – new music from the Red Clay Strays is on the way. And if it happens next summer, it would be on the cusp of their Madison Square Garden concert, making it an unforgettable moment for fans.
