Riley Green

Riley Green, a country singer-songwriter, was born on October 18, 1988, in Jacksonville, Alabama. His musical journey began when he started performing alongside his grandfather, who managed a bar in their hometown, and this early experience allowed him to refine his skills as both a songwriter and a performer before he ventured out as a solo artist. Green's first significant exposure to the public came through his participation in the CMT reality show Redneck Island, where he went on to win the show's fifth season in 2015 and his debut EP, Outlaws Like Us, was released in August 2017, marking the beginning of his music career. He later signed with Big Machine Records to release his first full-length album, Different 'Round Here, in 2019. Prior to the album's release, his single “I Wish Grandpas Never Died”garnered attention for its lyrical critique of pop country music, with the song achieving significant success, charting in both the US and Canada and earning a 2x Platinum certification. Green's musical journey continued with the release of "In a Truck Right Now" on September 20, 2019, which reached number 3 on the US Heatseekers chart, followed with "Get That Man a Beer," which climbed to number 8, seeing him embark shortly after on a worldwide tour alongside the legendary Brad Paisley. In recognition of his talent and contributions, the Academy of Country Music honoured Riley Green with the New Male Artist of the Year Award for 2019. His next EP, Behind the Bar spawned Top 40 single “If it Wasn’t for Trucks”, and Green returned in 2023 with "Different 'Round Here" (with Luke Combs) from sophomore album Ain’t My Last Rodeo, released on October 13, landing at number 15 on the US Country charts.
