Hey y'all, welcome back to Biscuits and Jam. I'm Sid Evans, and we have one more encore from

Season 5 for you. This time we're resharing our episode with Drew Nix and Brandon Coleman of the

amazing Red Clay Strays. 2024 was a huge year for these guys. They released their second studio album,

opened for the Rolling Stones, and had a song in the

Blockbuster movie Twisters. Join us on March 4th for the launch of season six with our very

special guests, The War and Treaty. I'll see you then.

Hey, y'all, welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living.

I'm your host, Sid Evans.

And today I'm talking with a couple of guys from Alabama who are founding members of one of the hottest young bands in the country.

Brandon Coleman, the charismatic lead singer, spent his youth running around with siblings and cousins on a family compound outside

of Turnerville, just north of Mobile. Meanwhile, Drew Nix, who plays guitar and writes a lot of the

songs, grew up further north in Birmingham. The two met through a mutual friend and eventually

formed the Red Clay Strays, a country rock group that's made

quite a name for itself, especially after their 2022 single, Wondering Why.

Now the band is out with a new album called Made by These Moments, and they've also been

nominated at the Americana Honors and Awards Show,

which will be held at the Ryman Auditorium on September 18th,

as one of the emerging acts of the year.

We'll talk about all that, their songwriting process,

Brandon's recent Alabama wedding,

plus the role of faith in their lives and their music.

All in this week's Biscuits and Jam.
