The Red Clay Strays are returning closer to home.

The Mobile-based group will perform at The Wharf Amphitheater on July 3 and July 4 in 2025, and tickets go on sale Friday, Nov. 15, at 10 a.m. Their concert will also feature Muscadine Bloodline and Lauren Anne Armour.

Their new album, "Made by These Moments," cut by Grammy Award-winning producer Dace Cobb, is an 11-song chronicle of "love worth searching for, knock-down fights with self-prescribed demons and a hard-earned faith found by the end of each day," a bio from the band described.

"There is a message of going down and being in low spots of life and finding your way out of it," singer-guitarist Brandon Coleman said about the album in the bio, "climbing back to the top and realizing that you're alright. It has a message of pre- serving and getting through something and coming out having hope."

The Red Clay Strays – Coleman, Drew Nix (guitar and vocals), Zach Rishel (guitar), Andrew Bishop (bass) and John Hall (drums) – "straddle fiery Southern rock riffs, tender-hearted soul music and tried-and-true country crooning. The success of 2022 self-released debut LP 'Moment of Truth' – including breakout single 'Wondering Why' – led to the Strays inking a deal with RCA Records and enlisting Cobb to produce 'Made by These Moments.' The band and Cobb, who's recorded Brandi Carlile and Chris Stapleton, among others, cut the album at the producer's home studio in Savannah, Georgia, largely tracking live in Cobb's living room."

"The whole thing was incredible," drummer Hall said in the bio. "It was a dream come true. We used to sit around and talk about, 'Wouldn't it be cool if [we recorded with Cobb]?' And then, boom, we're in there."

"'Made by These Moments' showcases the band's jukebox-like ability to jump between high-flying rock like the speaker-scorching 'Ramblin'' to soul-inspired songwriting like the myth-making groove on 'No One Else Like Me' and roof-rattling gospel-roots, such as the timeless 'On My Knees.' But no song may grab attention on first listen like 'Wanna Be Loved,' a soft-touch ballad where Coleman delivers a familiar tale in his warming voice," the bio describes. "He sings, 'Can you tell me I'm worthy, or important? Am I working hard enough? I just wanna be loved.'"

"I feel like everybody can relate to it," Coleman said in the bio. "Everybody's just wanting to be accepted. Wanting to be heard. Wanting to be loved. I'm hoping people hear it and relate to it in that way. When the music connects to people and relates to it, that's when you make a difference."

"And the album digs into life's dark members with songs like 'Drowning' – a balladeering plea for help – and 'Devil in My Ear,' a number that finds the narrator wrestling with demons like depression, anxiety and self-doubt, to name a few," the bio describes.

"It's important for us to shine a light, because you don't need to go there," Nix said about the song, "because there's somebody out here who does love you."
