Joe Rogan Accidentally Broke The News That The Red Clay Strays Have A New Album Dropping Summer Of 2026

Welp… Joe Rogan broke some news about The Red Clay Strays on The Joe Rogan Experience that I’m not exactly sure was supposed to be made public just yet.

The country rock band from Mobile, Alabama were out in Joe Rogan’s neck of the woods and evidently decided to join in on the popular podcaster’s show. Brandon Coleman (frontman), Andy Bishop (Bassist) and Drew Nix (guitarist) all sat down with Rogan and discussed their careers, how the band formed, names the group almost went by, a new single that’s on the way, and how their faith has guided them throughout everything.

They describe themselves as not as a Christian band, but a band full of Christians. Their faith and outspokenness about the Lord are intertwined with most of their catalogue – especially so in their most recent album Made By These Moments. There are actually a number of songs in that project that you could probably hear played in church.

And speaking of albums by The Red Clay Strays… it sounds like fans will be getting a follow up to that 2024 album (and their Live At The Ryman album that also released late last year) sooner rather than later. Towards the beginning of the interview, it first sounded like Rogan was talking about their “new album” in reference to Made By These Moments, which would be their newest.

But it quickly became clear that The Red Clay Strays have a new project on the way, and Joe Rogan has already heard the whole thing. The podcast host was talking with the band about how well they all get along when he threw this comment out there:

“The final product is amazing, and the new album is really f***ing good. It’s coming out in June of next year? Is that when it’s supposed to come out? The press thing I got said June of next year, I was like, ‘This should come out now.'”

And in the room, it certainly seemed like there was a “Was Joe supposed to say that?” kind of vibe. The Red Clay Strays went along with it, and Brandon Coleman was the first to respond to Rogan’s question:

“We’re shooting for summer of next year. We don’t really know yet.”

The band’s bassist, Andy Bishop, then chimed in and seemingly confirmed that the news Joe Rogan had just broken was just meant for Joe Rogan to know:

“You’re probably the only one that’s supposed to know that.”

To be clear, it wasn’t awkward, and there wasn’t any tension… but it did seem to catch the Red Clay Strays off guard. If it truly did, props to them for keeping cool about the new album announcement leak happening right in front of them. Rogan isn’t one to typically edit his podcast interviews that much, so the band just adapted to the situation and said a couple more things about the album coming in 2026.

Brandon added that though there’s still some work to be done, summer of next year seems like the target for their new album to drop:

“We’re still working on mixes. Hopefully June is gonna be the ticket.”

Oh, and Joe Rogan did respond to Bishop saying he was the only one that was supposed to know that. The podcast host played it off as not a big deal, and even shared what could very well be the first reviews for the unnamed, unreleased third record from The Red Clay Strays

“Oh really? Well everyone knows now. Well… it’s really good. The final product, you guys are very unique. You have a very unique sound and it’s very fun.”
