The Red Clay Strays Bring the Grateful Tour to Vancouver's Rogers Arena This August

The Red Clay Strays Bring the Grateful Tour to Vancouver's Rogers Arena This August

Alabama roots-rock outfit The Red Clay Strays have announced the Grateful Tour '26, their most ambitious live run to date, in celebration of their upcoming third studio album, Grateful, arriving June 5 via HBYCO Records / RCA Records. The 3x RIAA Platinum-certified band's first headline arena tour sweeps into Vancouver, BC for a night at Rogers Arena on August 30, 2026, with support from Wyatt Flores and Sweet Talk. Verified Diehards Presales begin Tuesday, April 28 at 9:00 am local time. Public on-sale begins Friday, May 1 at 9:00 am local time. Full details and tickets are at redclaystrays.com/tour.

Grateful: A New Sound, A New Chapter

Grateful arrives June 5 as the follow-up to 2024's acclaimed Made By These Moments and the latest chapter in one of roots rock's most compelling ongoing stories. Produced once again by 9x Grammy Award-winner Dave Cobb - known for his work with Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, and Jason Isbell - the album was recorded between Cobb's Savannah, GA home studio and the historic RCA Studio A in Nashville. Spanning 11 songs that move between soul-drenched Saturday night energy and Sunday morning reflection, Grateful finds the six-member Mobile, AL band paying tribute to the faith that carried them through every difficult chapter of their rise.

The album is heralded by lead single "Demons In Your Choir," an electrifying opener that builds from organ notes into a wall-shaking gospel-rock anthem, featuring a backing choir led by 3x Grammy Award-winning musician Shannon Sanders. Also available now is the churning "People Hatin'" and the tender "If I Didn't Know You," the latter accompanied by a music video co-starring comedian Matt Rife and fitness influencer Mariah Morse that has surpassed 4.1 million YouTube views. Pre-orders and pre-saves for Grateful are available now at redclaystrays.com.

"Moment of Truth was a big album about having faith in dark times," says lead singer and guitarist Brandon Coleman. "Made By These Moments focused on realizing those dark times that you were having to have faith through, which made you who you are. And now we're at a point where we're grateful."

From Crowdfunded Debut to Arenas Worldwide

The Red Clay Strays' trajectory has been nothing short of extraordinary. The band launched in 2022 with Moment of Truth, a RIAA Gold-certified crowdfunded debut LP, before breaking through on a massive scale with 2024's Made By These Moments and its #1 hit single "Wondering Why," now 3x RIAA Platinum. That record earned them the Americana Music Honors & Awards' 2024 "Emerging Artist of the Year," the ACM Awards' 2025 "New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year," and the CMA Awards' 2025 "Vocal Group of the Year." The Grateful Tour '26 is the natural next step - previously announced headline dates include stops at New York City's Madison Square Garden (August 9), two nights at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena (October 22-23), and Atlanta's State Farm Arena (November 13), alongside the newly announced arena run that stretches coast to coast.

Vancouver: Rogers Arena on August 30

The Red Clay Strays will perform at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC on Sunday, August 30, 2026, with support from Wyatt Flores and Sweet Talk. The Vancouver show is a newly announced date and forms part of a Pacific Northwest sweep that also takes in Spokane (August 26), Seattle (August 27), and Portland (August 29). For the Vancouver area, this is the one and only opportunity to catch The Red Clay Strays on their landmark 2026 run.
