The Red Clay Strays, Mile 0 Festival review

Brandon Coleman and the Red Clay Strays were among the highlights at the 2025 Mile 0 Festival in Key West, Florida.Patrick Tewey*

Summer Dean has honky-tonk charisma.

The band behind him sounded like it too, steamrolling through a set rich in vintage sounds.

But, time and again, the Strays have proved theyre not some throwback parody.

Theres a reason they graduated to headliner this year.

Ellis Bullard, the coolest act in Texas Music?

John Fullbright shows why hes so damn revered.

This all happened at his Backyard Bar set at Mile 0.

When he played Paranoid Heart off the 2022 albumThe Liar, he brought the crowd to a standstill.

I will never speak your name, he sang, if its not out of love again.

Them Dirty Roses create their own encore.
