If you braved the chilly air all the way until Red Sun Rising took the stage, then you already know how much of a hardcore RSR fan you are. Despite the 40º evening, the blowing air, or even the chilled Bud Light that paired nicely with your cold fingers, it definitely was worth the wait to see these guys again.

RSR headlined at Lock 4, located in downtown Akron, part of the free event known as Freedom Fest. The full hour set included many of their popular hits and to watch the two guitarist painfully pick cold strings, I'm sure if was like scraping your fingers across shards of glass.

Here are my picks from the evening.

Found myself keeping my camera and batteries warm to ensure extended use in the coldness. Wish I could say the same about my ears and fingers. Damn fingers had at least a 1/2 sec delay. 0.o
