The Red Clay Strays performed their transcendent gospel-tinged rave-up “Demons in Your Choir” at the Academy of Country Music Awards Sunday. The Alabama crew has always straddled Southern rock and country well enough to have opened for the Rolling Stones in 2024, but they fit right in on the ACMs stage, thanks in part to frontman Brandon Coleman’s booming voice, pitched with just the right amount of twang.

This also marked Wilson's first time performing live as a married woman. The country star wed…
