The Albany Gazette - American Rebel Light Beer Fuels Memorial Day Weekend Party as Andy Ross Opens for Brantley Gilbert, Aaron Lewis & Payton Smith at Black Oak Amphitheater

NASHVILLE, TN AND LAMPE, MO / ACCESS Newswire / May 24, 2026 / American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (OTC:AREB), America's Patriotic Brand™, today issued a follow‑up announcement as fans make their way to Black Oak Amphitheater for tonight's Memorial Day Weekend concert event. Following the company's earlier release (available here), American Rebel is reminding fans that American Rebel Light Beer is the official beer sponsor and full‑venue branding partner for tonight's show, encouraging concertgoers to get out to the amphitheater early, raise an ice‑cold Rebel Light, and celebrate America with live music and patriotic energy.

The partnership aligns American Rebel Light Beer with Black Oak Amphitheater - the leading and premier outdoor patriotic concert venue in the Ozarks - creating a high‑energy, values‑driven environment that reflects the brand's commitment to freedom, music, and American patriotism. The collaboration brings together two organizations deeply rooted in celebrating America, live music, and the fans who make it all possible.

Black Oak Amphitheater + American Rebel Light Beer

Tom Abbett, General Manager of Black Oak Amphitheater, shared the story behind the partnership:

"Our partnership with Andy and American Rebel products is nothing short of spectacular. Aware of the brand through its NHRA affiliation, the first chance I had to sample an American Rebel Light beer was at Tootsies on Lower Broadway in Nashville, and that led me to send a picture of the can to our concessionaire and business partner, Shawn, with the caption, 'I've found our beer!' From there, we reached out to the brand and were able to quickly strike up a partnership and get distribution here in Missouri for our live music venue, which will now have Andy Ross and the band performing on our main stage to really kick off the selling and concert season. We are certainly ready to 'Rebel Up' here at Black Oak Amphitheater."

Andy Ross Opens the Show - "Hold My Beer" Sets the Tone

American Rebel CEO, country rocker, and television personality Andy Ross will kick off tonight's event with his signature high‑energy patriotic country rock 'n' roll. Ross will perform his new single "Hold My Beer" - a tribute to America's past, present, and future - and a rallying cry that "America is just getting going... so hold my beer."

Ross' opening set will also include his regular lineup of patriotic country rock anthems, including "Cold Dead Hand" and "I Stand for You."
