NOW STREAMING: “Hell of A Way to Go” (acoustic)
Before Riley Green was selling out his own shows, he went to plenty of concerts as a fan, and he says there was one show in particular that made a lasting impression on him, in terms of the kind of artist he wanted to be, and the kind of shows he wanted to create for his fans.
Riley Green – inspiring live show :31
“One of the first big concerts I remember being at, thinking about myself as a artist, it was an Eric Church concert in Biloxi. It was Justin Moore and Eric Church, and I was a big Justin Moore fan and Eric Church fan too. And the concert was just really great. It was a combination of the showmanship, but also the singing and then also the songs, you know. And that was a big part of it in the sense of, I never wanted to be one that was just lights and fireworks. I like to be able to take it down a notch and sit on a stool and play a song, and it touch somebody in a different way. So, I took a lot from that concert especially.”
Riley recently released an acoustic version of his song “Hell of a Way to Go,” which you can find on your favorite streaming or download service. You can also hear Riley featured on Thomas Rhett’s latest top 15 song, “Half of Me.”
