Preorder Red Clay Strays’ Grateful, due out Friday, June 5th, and make plans to join us on release day at 3:00 PM for a short & sweet vinyl signing with the band! The guys will be hanging out in the shop and signing their new record for attendees. All who preorder the Grateful LP on our site or in the record shop will receive a wristband for the band’s album signing (while supplies last). Wristbands are required to participate in the album signing for all 13+. (Kids 12 & under don’t need wristbands if attending with a wristband-holding adult.) Wristbands will be available for pickup with preorders starting on Friday, June 5th. You can read more about our event with Red Clay Strays on our site here.

What comes after weathering a season of darkness? A new light cuts through the shadows – and with it, an appreciation for the journey that led there.

The Red Clay Strays don’t just write songs for finding the strength to stand up after life scrapes you across the proverbial floor. On the band’s new album Grateful, they turn survival into jubilation – a celebration of faith, a soundtrack to gratitude and a clear-eyed reflection of the road traveled along the way.

A collection of 11 rollicking, soul-searching songs that can spill out of dance halls on Saturday night and fill church steeples on Sunday morning in equal measure, Grateful chronicles the latest chapter in the Strays’ story from a little-known band to packing arenas with audiences ready to partake in an old-school roots-rock revival. The group set out with something to prove on crowdfunded debut LP Moment of Truth and carved a path through hardship on 2024 follow-up Made By These Moments. Now, on Grateful – the band’s second studio release under RCA Records – the Strays pay tribute to the faith they held in each up-and-down moment.

Grateful is available to preorder here on limited cream colored vinyl LP for local, event pickup. Preorders are limited to a total of ONE LP (1) per customer. For each album preordered, you’ll receive a wristband such that 1 LP preordered = 1 wristband. The signing limit will be ONE ALBUM per person. All who place preorders in advance will receive an email with preorder pickup and event details on or by the day before our event.

This is an in-person, Grateful vinyl signing only‍ where Red Clay Strays will sign their new LP for attendees. This is a Grateful vinyl signing event only, not a general signing or a photo opportunity. Please do not bring posters, photos, gear or other merch—these items will not be signed. Due to time constraints, no personalizations please. Wristbands are required for the signing for all 13+ and guarantee entrance to our event. (Wristbands are not required for kids 12 & under attending with a wristband-holding adult.) Restricted photos are allowed from the sidelines and signing line, however time does not allow for staged photos or selfies with the band. Thanks for understanding.

Limited to one (1) LP per person, preorders placed for local, event pickup will be available for pickup, along with wristbands, starting at 11:00 AM on Friday, June 5th, the day of our signing event with Red Clay Strays.

Event preorders for store pickup will be held for three months after the event date. Please pick up your Grateful preorder no later than September 5th.
