For more than 25 years, Jason Boland & The Stragglers have waved the Red Dirt and Texas-country banner, pairing razor-sharp storytelling with the electrifying punch of a road-hardened honky-tonk band. Fronted by Harrah, Oklahoma native Jason Boland and anchored by bassist Grant Tracy and multi-instrumentalist Nick Gedra, the Stragglers built a loyal following on modern classics like “Pearl Snaps,” “Comal County Blue,” and the cosmic concept album The Light Saw Me, all while criss-crossing the country for thousands of shows.
That same restless spirit powers their brand-new studio release, The Last Kings of Babylon (2025), a collection that layers Telecaster twang, pedal-steel shimmer, and Boland’s plain-spoken poetry into a fresh batch of bar-top anthems. Expect a setlist stacked with time-tested favorites, new crowd-pleasers, and the no-frills musicianship that turns every Stragglers show into a Saturday-night revival. Raise a longneck, tap your boots, and let Jason Boland & The Stragglers remind you why honest country music still matters
For the past 20 years, Jason Boland & the Stragglers have dazzled audiences all over as one of the leading ambassadors of the Oklahoma and Texas music movement. 500,000 records sold independently and 10 albums later, Boland is a career musician whose legacy continues to grow.
