Riley half the time is like..... WTF is happening here?.... but also loving it......
I hope Cody Johnson gets on the show some time!
Riley brings it back to tradition. God, Family, and country music. Hope whoever sees this is having a blessed day.
I saw Riley Green play live at the Kansas State Fair and he rocks! His show was one of the fair's highest selling acts since Garth Brooks.
Riley grew up around an hour and a half from me, his music is authentic and he grew his music naturally with a community that wanted to see a fellow Alabama man succeed in country music. A lot of his inspiration for music probably also comes from the heart ache of bein an Auburn fan, each season he watches the tigers struggle and there lies the inspiration. ROLL TIDE “Glad to see your success man”
Worst Way = Accidental pregnancy song of the summer.
“But I’m stuck on Georgia time…”
This is real Country Music!
Stacked Talent!!💯💯💯💯🎸🎤🎼🏈🏀⚾️⛳️🎣🏹🏆🎥🎥💽🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pat, you need to introduce Riley to Jason & Travis - that would make a fun spot on New Heights.
