The Red Clay Strays

Hailing from the red dirt clay of Mobile, Alabama, the Red Clay Strays have spent the past year

trailblazing their musical path across the nation by bringing their unique blend of tunes to stages

ranging from the intimate to the large-scale in small towns and big cities all over the country. Amidst

the success of their debut album Moment of Truth, the seasoned band of road warriors has kept

pedal to the metal as of late making major festival appearances at HWY 30 Fest, Bonnaroo,

Peacemaker Festival, Under the Big Sky, Mile-0 Fest, Lollapalooza, and CMA Fest, as well as

opening for esteemed acts including Kip Moore, Nikki Lane, Old Crow Medicine Show, Paul

Cauthen, Brothers Osborne, and The Steel Woods. Throughout their 2023 tenure of live

performances, the band has rightfully continued to garner industry attention by touring alongside

notable hit-makers such as Elle King, Dierks Bentley, and Eric Church. And the industry is certainly

noticing–after a jam-packed summer tour that catapulted them onto the fast track of becoming a

household name. The band was welcomed to walk into the circle at the Grand Ole Opry, culminating

lifelong dreams no doubt a result of the years of hard work and drive spent honing their craft. This

Fall, the Red Clay Strays prepare to continue cementing their well-deserved status as one of

America’s fastest-rising bands and taking the world by storm with their first major headlining tour, the

Way Too Long Tour. With their explosive chemistry on stage and eclectic rock-n-roll sound that is

distinctively their own, they’re bound to burn stages down everywhere. Get your ticket while you can

for the Way Too Long Tour this fall!

The Red Clay Strays are Brandon Coleman: lead vocals/guitar; Drew Nix: vocals/electric guitar/harmonica; Zach Rishel: electric guitar; Andrew Bishop: bass; and John Hall: drums.

Wyatt Flores

Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Wyatt Flores is “one of the genre’s most conspicuous new voices" (Billboard). Following the release of his full-length debut album, Welcome to the Plains, Flores continues to gain widespread attention, having appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series, PBS’ “Austin City Limits and CBS' Mornings' "Saturday Sessions,” while the album landed on several “Best of” lists including NPR, RollingStone and more. Known for his electric concerts, Flores recently released his first live album, Live At Cain’s Ballroom, and will continue to tour through this summer with his “Drive All Night Tour.” Born and raised in Oklahoma, the Mexican-American artist has established himself as one of country music’s most vital voices. He’s been recognized as one of Rolling Stone’s 25 “Future of Music” artists, was nominated for Emerging Act of the Year at the 2024 Americana Awards, was selected as Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year, included in Spotify’s Hot Country Class of 2024. Additionally, Flores has garnered over 1 billion streams to date. Flores is currently working on new music to be released later this year.

Sweet Talk

here’s something about Sweet Talk that doesn’t ask for your attention so much as demand it. Hailing from Melbourne, carrying the swagger of Southern rock and the storytelling heart of Americana, but bent through their own lens, one that lets the red dust and late-night grit of Australia seep into every note. They don’t imitate; they translate. And in that translation, they’ve found a voice entirely their own.

That voice is all over Switch On, their debut album. Produced by Robert Ellis and mixed by Grammy-winner Trina Shoemaker, it landed in 2025 and refused to leave the ARIA Country Album Top 20 for more than eighteen weeks. Long before that, the single Warm Love cut a path of its own, earning an APRA Award nomination and marking Sweet Talk as more than another band on the rise. A national tour with Alabama’s wildfire Red Clay Strays proved it - night after night, crowds of thousands walked in curious and left converted. BIGSOUND 2025 further proved the band were hot property, with Australian country music legend Troy Cassar Daley and Bigloud’s Jonno Keitells proclaiming the band “export ready” to hit stages around the world.

The road here has been relentless: National tours with the mentioned Red Clay Strays and Charley Crockett, multiple appearances at Byron Bay Bluesfest, Tamworth Country Music Festival, Port Fairy, Queenscliff, Gympie, Groundwater, Out On The Weekend. Pubs with sticky floors, backyards that smelled of smoke, festival stages that shook with thousands singing back. At every stop, Sweet Talk sharpened the thing that’s hardest to fake: connection.

2026 is continuing apace, with new music being written and recorded, and exciting collaborations slated with some Australian and US based heavyweights, as well as the whispers of some big tours coming up… Sweet Talk are just getting started.

Call it Americana, call it Southern rock, call it whatever you want. Sweet Talk are taking those traditions and bending them into something that feels both familiar and new - songs that know where they come from, but more importantly, know exactly where they’re going.
