Fireworks are illegal in many parts of the southeastern United States, but Alabama, where Riley Green was born and raised, is not one of those places, which is why you often see fireworks mega stores set up along the state lines from Tennessee, Georgia and other surrounding states. Riley says, “It’s like when you go to Georgia and Florida, as soon as you cross the line, there’s lottery tickets everywhere. I feel like everybody comes to Alabama to get fireworks. So, that was definitely a big part of Fourth of July for us, was getting out and setting stuff on fire, or shooting off, blowing stuff up. I feel like any kid that grew up in the country has gotta love that kind of stuff.”
Riley will be playing a double-header Fourth of July weekend in New Braunfels, Texas at the River Road Ice House. Fans can stream or download Riley’s new EP, Get That Man A Beer, featuring his latest single, “In Love by Now,” to get ready for the show.
Riley Green – 4th of July :20
“You know in Alabama you can buy fireworks, I don’t know that you can do that everywhere. It’s like when you go to Georgia and Florida, as soon as you cross the line, there’s lottery tickets everywhere. I feel like everybody comes to Alabama to get fireworks. So, that was definitely a big part of Fourth of July for us, was getting out and setting stuff on fire, or shooting off, blowing stuff up.
