The Red Clay Strays will make their debut at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium with three sold-out shows on Sept. 4, 5 and 6.

The second and third shows were added due to overwhelming demand after the first night immediately sold-out, leading all three shows to sell out. With this achievement, The Red Clay Strays are now among a very select group who have made their Ryman debut with a three-night stand, joining artists such as Mumford & Sons, Chris Stapleton, Tedeschi Trucks Band and Turnpike Troubadours.

The Ryman shows add to a breakout year for The Red Clay Strays, who are having a huge moment with their viral single “Wondering Why.” With over 47 million streams to date, the track spent a week at No. 1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 U.S. Playlist and has achieved success at radio, as it’s currently No. 1 on the Americana Singles chart, No. 7 on Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart, No. 19 on the Billboard AAA chart and No. 22 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. “Wondering Why” is from the band’s album, Moment of Truth, which is currently No. 9 on the Americana Albums Chart.

Additional upcoming sold-out headline shows include Charlottesville’s Jefferson Theater, Charleston’s Riviera Theater (two nights), Tuscaloosa’s Druid City Music Hall, Athens’ Georgia Theatre and St. Louis’ The Hawthorn, among others. The band will also join Turnpike Troubadours and Whiskey Myers for select dates this spring and perform at several key festivals this year.

The band recently returned to the studio with producer Dave Cobb to record a new album, which will be released this year.
