NASHVILLE, Tenn. — April 29, 2025 — The Red Clay Strays were surprised with their first ACM Award win after being named ACM New Duo or Group of the Year on Monday afternoon (4.28) while recording with Dave Cobb in Savannah, GA. The news was revealed to the band by the winningest artist in ACM history, Miranda Lambert, through a special phone call congratulating the group for winning their first ACM Award, and they were also handed an official ACM Awards envelope with their name revealing them as the winner of the category.

The Red Clay Strays’ win comes after self-releasing their debut album, Moment of Truth, in 2022, featuring the breakout single, “Wondering Why,” which propelled the band into the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs Chart and inside the top 20 of the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and led to the band to ink a deal with RCA Records. They then released their latest studio album produced by Dave Cobb, Made by These Moments, to universal acclaim, marking the band’s first entry in the Billboard 200. Hailing from Mobile, AL, the band is comprised of Brandon Coleman (lead vocals, guitar), Drew Nix (guitar and vocals), Zach Rishel (guitar), Andrew Bishop (bass), John Hall (drums), and Sevans Henderson (keys).

The Red Clay Strays will be celebrated for their ACM New Duo or Group Artist of the Year win at the 60th ACM Awards, hosted by entertainment icon Reba McEntire. The 60th ACM Awards will stream live exclusively for a global audience across 240+ countries and territories on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT / 5 p.m. PT from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys. A limited number of tickets to the landmark 60th ACM Awards are available for purchase on SeatGeek, offering fans exclusive entry into a nonstop celebration packed with performances by their favorite country stars and seats closer to the action than ever.
