  The Red Clay Strays

  Hailing from Mobile, AL, The Red Clay Strays are one of music’s fastest-rising bands and poised for a huge breakout this year. The group is currently having a massive moment with their single, “Wondering Why,” which has garnered over 75 million streams to date, spent a week at # 1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 USA Playlist and is currently #1 on the Americana Singles chart for the sixth-consecutive week. The song is also charting on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 as well as Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart, AAA chart and Hot Country Songs chart, and continuing to gain support across platforms. “Wondering Why” is from the band’s album, Moment of Truth, which is currently #2 on the Americana Albums Chart and is filled with their eclectic rock-n-roll sound. Of the record, Billboard praises, “Lead singer Coleman’s gruff, impassioned vocal shines here as always, bolstered by the group’s exemplary musicianship.” Known for their electric live shows, the band will continue to tour through this fall with sold-out shows across the country, including their three-night headline debut at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium in September, all three nights of which sold-out within just hours.

  Buffalo Traffic Jam

  Buffalo Traffic Jam is a folk band born in the heart of Bozeman, Montana, where its members, Frankie Cassidy and Nathan Ross, first crossed paths as students at Montana State University. United by a love for storytelling and the raw beauty of acoustic sound, they began crafting music that evokes wide-open landscapes and the emotions that live quietly beneath the surface of everyday life. The result was a self-titled debut ep followed by singles “Rescue Me” and “Forgot Your Roots;” the latter of which saw the band gain their first bit of online momentum and led to the signing of their very first record deal with Arista Records.

  With rich harmonies, stripped-down instrumentation, and vocals that make you feel—whether it's longing, joy, or that bittersweet in-between—Buffalo Traffic Jam creates songs that linger long after the last chord fades. Their music is as much about atmosphere as it is about melody, rooted in folk traditions but carried forward by a modern emotional edge.

  2025 has seen the release of two more singles, “Strangers Now” and “Milestone” and will see the band make their festival debuts at both Under the Big Sky and Red West Festival before heading out on tour with rising country singer-songwriter Dylan Gossett. From dorm room jam sessions to packed local venues, Buffalo Traffic Jam stays true to their roots—authenticity, friendship, and the natural beauty that first brought them together in Montana.
