Southern rock meets red dirt grit this Friday night, July 18th 2025 as Gannon Fremin & CCREV hit the stage at The Golden Record in St. Louis, presented by Open Highway Presents. The Oklahoma-based band is widely known for their blistering live performances, fusing outlaw country swagger with the angst and attitude of 90s grunge. It’s a sound that doesn’t just echo across genres—it kicks the doors in.

From rowdy barroom anthems to introspective storytelling, Gannon Fremin & CCREV’s music is unapologetically raw and real, fueled by a loyal grassroots following and a commitment to staying true to their red dirt roots. Their electric energy on stage makes this a must-see event for fans of modern Americana, rock, and country hybrids. Doors open at 7pm, and the show starts at 8pm. Tickets are available now!
Adding to the excitement, Hudson Reid, a rising singer-songwriter from Southeast Missouri, has just been announced as the opener. Known for his emotional honesty and gritty vocal style, Reid is quickly turning heads with a sound that blends traditional country storytelling with modern-day heartland songwriting. His inclusion on this bill marks a major step forward in his young career and offers fans an early look at a local talent on the rise.
Reid recently appeared on Live Sessions from The Barn, where he delivered a stirring performance of his new single “Bottom Shelf “- a raw and emotionally charged track that lays it all on the line. Reid opens up like never before with lyrics that paint a picture of lost love, addiction, and the painful reckoning that comes with self-awareness. “Sometimes I don’t feel like singing anymore…” he confesses, setting the tone for a song that digs deep into the emotional aftermath of trying to find meaning in the wreckage.
With a voice that carries both grit and vulnerability, Reid captures the feeling of being “aged fine wine” on the outside, but “bottom shelf whiskey” on the inside – damaged, overlooked, and full of regret. His powerful performance at The Barn reveals not just a promising young artist, but a storyteller who isn’t afraid to confront his truth.
Whether you’re a diehard fan of Southern rock or just looking to discover something new, this Friday’s show promises a night of music that’s loud, real, and unforgettable.
