Mitch Freimark dug deep into the trenches of Southern hard rock reverence for his latest single, Liv’n Off the Dirt. Blazing past high-octane rock to deliver a hypersonic blast of augmented blue-collar blues, Mitch Freimark blurs the lines between Americana and the hard rock anthem with the kind of force that demands volume.
With super-charged riffs, a snarling rhythm section and a voice so powerful it is scarcely believable that it belongs to someone on this mortal coil, the track becomes a commanding release for anyone who knows the resilience needed to withstand the toll of toiling the earth for a living. It hits like dust in the lungs, sun on the neck and pride refusing to bow beneath another brutal day.
Freimark’s own history gives the single a higher voltage. He first took a guitar to the stage at 15, after close friend Boyce Bender convinced his mother to let him play a VFW gig in Gettysburg, South Dakota. Decades of writing, playing and storing songs that needed to be heard eventually led him to AI vocalist Cade Nichols, the voice he felt could finally breathe life into them.
Liv’n Off the Dirt is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
