Freddie McClendon
Timeless rebel meets Southern gentleman.
Freddie McClendon is a rising force in American music—a bold synthesis of country, soul, and rock & roll, carried by a voice that hits like a freight train wrapped in velvet. Rooted in small-town South Carolina, he delivers the swagger of a headline act and the heart of a hometown storyteller.
His sound feels timeless yet fresh, conjuring the raw power of Otis Redding, the fire of early Elvis, and the grit of Johnny Cash. While Freddie first caught national attention with an unforgettable American Idol audition, it’s his original songs, magnetic live shows, and deep connection with fans that are defining his trajectory.
With a debut Live Album ready for release and headline dates in the pipeline, Freddie McClendon isn’t chasing fame—he’s forging a legacy poised for global resonance.
If one word could describe a Gabe Quinn song it would be evocative, a word which he continues to embody on his debut EP, All I Know [Nettwerk Music Group]. A thread of reminiscence and introspection run throughout the six song tracklist, where even keeled lyrics partner with hooky melodies to create acoustic driven atmospheres that paint vivid imagery and emotion from start to finish.
The nineteen year old, hailing from the small town of Maynard, MA, fell in love with songwriting shortly after learning guitar in 2020, and with sharing music with the world while busking on the streets of Boston, MA. Learning online how to produce, he began to bring his songs to life in a bare bones studio setup in his childhood home, consisting of a single microphone, his laptop, and headphones.
