Mid-State Fair daily schedule for Monday, July 21
Country-rock powerhouse, Red Clay Strays, rock the Chumash Grandstand Arena
-The California Mid-State Fair is proud to announce that rising country-rock powerhouse The Red Clay Strays performs on Monday, July 21, 7:30 p.m. Hailing from Mobile, Alabama, The Red Clay Strays blend Southern rock, soul, and classic country. The band bonded over Lynyrd Skynyrd riffs and cut their teeth on sticky barroom floors, before rising to national acclaim with their self-released debut Moment of Truth and viral hit “Wondering Why,” earning them the 2024 Americana ‘Emerging Artist of the Year’ title. Signing with RCA Records, they teamed with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb for Made by These Moments, which debuted in the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums Chart, and led to performances on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS Saturday Morning, plus wins and nominations from the CMAs and Billboard Music Awards. Their electrifying live show has sold out venues including the Ryman Auditorium and Red Rocks, with 2024 festival stops at Bonnaroo, Under The Big Sky, and a three-night hometown run at The Wharf in Alabama.
Oklahoma’s Kaitlin Butts started singing at four or five years old. Influenced by The Chicks, The Wreckers, and Miranda Lambert. Assisted by a neighbor who taught her to play the guitar. It wasn’t long before she moved to Nashville. Kaitlin entertains the California Mid-State Fair with songs from her 2024 album, “Roadrunner.”
The show is at 7:30 p.m. at the Chumash Grandstand Arena.
