The Red Clay Strays continue to subtly knock their social media content out of the park. Nowadays, modern artists and bands have two things to focus on: their actual music and their online presence. Things aren’t as simple as they used to be, and social media is a never-ending beast. If artists aren’t trying to use the platform to rocket themselves to stardom, they are making sure they stay consistent with posting to maintain the stardom they’ve already achieved. It can truly be a daunting task, but The Red Clays Strays make it look easy. They have found that sharing videos that give fans a look into their band’s everyday life is all that it takes to create connection. At the end of the day, the people that we all love to go see perform their music up on stage are humans too, and the behind-the-scenes footage that the Red Clay Strays share through social media helps remind their fans of that. The latest example is an early look at one of their 2024 releases: “God Does.” In the video, the members of the band are all dressed up in tuxedos inside a church, with frontman Brandon Coleman seated at a piano at the very front. The footage captures him singing a version of “God Does” that still had some cleaning up to do (not much, if we’re being honest). There are only a couple of differences between the rendition that Coleman sings here and the studio recording that eventually landed on their sophomore album. In the chorus, you’ll hear Brandon sing “With him, I always win” instead of “On him, I can depend.” And it also seems as though they switched around the verses of “God Does,” and eventually placed the “Devil baits the hook” portion of the song at the very beginning. It’s incredible to hear the track that really just had some minor fine-tuning to go through: “A very early version of ‘God Does’ before we ever recorded it. Sounds a little different from what we ended up with.” How cool is that? And if you thought it looks like Coleman and his bandmates were dressed up for some sort of fancy occasion, you’d be correct. It was actually a very special day for Brandon Coleman and his wife, Macie… the day that they got married. As you can see in the picture below posted by Macie Coleman on January 20, 2024, the wedding photographer was able to capture a special moment between the two at the very piano that above photo was featured in.

The Red Clay Strays went on to release “God Does” in July of 2024 as a part of their second album, Made By These Moments. And judging by this video, there’s a very good chance that some workshopping for that project – at least for one song that was on it – took place on Brandon Coleman’s wedding day. That wedding-day-piano-playing with the bandmates acting as a makeshift audience was a small step in how you hear the song today: “God Does” by The Red Clay Strays The post The Red Clay Strays Share Video Of Brandon Coleman Playing Early, Piano Version Of “God Does” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
