CURRENT SINGLE: “If It Wasn’t for Trucks”
Like a lot of guys in country music, Riley Green enjoys getting out on the golf course, but a lot of the reason he started golfing in the first place is because he realized it could help him in his career. “When I got to Nashville, that’s what all the record label guys did, was golf. A lot of radio guys golf, you know. So, it was a cool way for me to get out when I’m on the road and go play golf with somebody. That’s a pretty cool way to go catch up with somebody in a informal setting.”
Not only does golf allow Riley to spend some one-on-one time with key people in the country music industry, but it also makes meetings a lot more fun, because he says, “You do all these radio interviews and meetings, and you’re sittin’ in an office or a cubicle or something. But to be able to get out with somebody and enjoy a common hobby and just kinda talk like buddies is a pretty neat way. So I’ve gotten into golf.”
According to Darius Rucker, during the pandemic, you could find tons of artists out on the golf course, like him, Charles Kelley, Brett Young, Morgan Wallen, Joe Don Rooney and others, all out on the golf course spending time together. So, golf has also become a great way for Riley to hang out and catch up with his peers.
