Multi-platinum, award-winning Country star Gabby Barrett will headline the 2025 Hilliard Freedom Fest on July 4.
Barrett catapulted to stardom with her meteoric breakout eight-time Platinum #1 “I Hope” and four-time Platinum three-week #1 “The Good Ones,” featured on her record-setting Platinum debut album, Goldmine (Warner Music Nashville). Her follow-up release, Chapter & Verse, included fan-favorite hit “Glory Days” and saw the powerhouse vocalist take even more creative control than ever before as co-producer on the full album.
Surpassing 3.7 billion global career streams, Barrett’s also stacked major accolades like Billboard Women in Music 2022’s Rising Star Award, 2021 CMT Artists of the Year, and the iHeartRadio Titanium Award, plus nods from ACM, AMA, Billboard, CMA, CMT, and iHeartRadio. With top-tier co-hosting gigs on ACM Awards and CMA Country Christmas, Barrett has supported the hottest Country tours including Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, and Brooks & Dunn, while playing mega music festivals like Stagecoach as well.
Her headline trek, LIFE I’M LIVING TOUR 2025, kicks off this summer with more new music on the horizon.
Hilliard’s Freedom Fest will take place on Friday, July 4, in Roger A. Reynolds Municipal Park. In addition to Barrett’s must-see headline performance, the free event will include the always-amazing fireworks show, two opening music acts, a kids zone, food trucks, and tons of family fun.
