The Red Clay Strays & Double R Western™: A Huge Thank You (And Why You Need to Hear This Band)
At Double R Western™, we believe music is more than a melody — it’s a vessel for faith, resilience, and timeless storytelling. That same spirit is what we try to stitch into everything we do at Double R Western™, building Western wear and Western apparel around purpose, grit, and the kind of stories that still matter.
That’s why I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Conway Entertainment, the management team behind The Red Clay Strays, for granting us permission to feature their music as part of the Double R Western™ experience. Their support means we can share the kind of sound that belongs out here — honest, gritty, and full of soul.
The Red Clay Strays’ songs aren’t just “good tunes.” They carry messages of hope, perseverance, and faith. If you’ve been craving music that feels real — music that carries weight — this is a band you need to hear.
Who Are The Red Clay Strays?

Faith, Light, and Song
At Double R Western™, we live by a simple belief: “Be the light and keep on singing.” The Red Clay Strays embody that in every track. Their music offers light in the darkness and a reminder that faith and perseverance can carry us through life’s hardest seasons.
That message fits right at home with what we stand for — honoring the values of the West, telling stories that matter, and building something that gives back through our Renew & Restore mission.
July 26 in Bend: One of the Best Concerts I’ve Ever Seen
I saw The Red Clay Strays on July 26 at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater in Bend, and it was absolutely one of the best concerts I’ve ever experienced. You couldn’t ask for a better venue or a better day.
Right as they got into the heart of their set, the sun started dropping behind the landscape — a classic Western sunset — and it felt like God was smiling down on them for doing what they do. The whole night was powerful, beautiful, and the kind of experience that sticks with you long after the last song ends.
.If you’re new here, Double R Western™ is a Western wear brand built on purpose-driven storytelling — learn more about our mission on our Renew & Restore page.
