Red Clay Strays To Open For The Rolling Stones

AL.com reports that the Red Clay Strays, what it calls “a rootsy rock band from the Mobile area,” will open a May 30 show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, during The Rolling Stones’ upcoming “Hackney Diamonds” tour. Other acts opening various dates on the tour include Gary Clark, Jr.; Joe Bonamassa; Tyler Childers; Widespread Panic; and Bettye LaVette. Expectations as of this writing are that the show will be sold out soon. Formed around 2016, the Red Clay Strays have also been noticed by Billboard.com and already sold out a three-night stand this fall at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. The group has announced a deal with RCA and has recorded a new album with star producer Dave Cobb that it expects to release later this year.
