CURRENT SINGLE: “If It Wasn’t for Trucks”
Riley Green owes a lot of his career to his mom, who was one of his biggest supporters from the beginning, even when he wasn’t as focused as he should have been. “She took me to guitar lessons, bought me my first guitar.”
Even as a teenager when Riley got distracted by other things, he says, “(My mom) had a really big part in me staying after the music thing, cause that was right during that time I was in high school playing three sports, probably just figuring out that I like girls. And I probably didn’t put as much time into it as I wanted to or I should have, and she always kind of stayed on me with it, in the sense of she was very supportive of me learning the guitar and singing and all that.”
To this day, Riley’s mom – and his dad – are two of his biggest supporters. “Her and Pops still come to shows all the time,” Riley says. “I don’t know how they do it but they hang in there with me.”
Riley Green – relationship with mom :32
“She took me to guitar lessons, bought me my first guitar, took me to Oxford, Alabama, 30, 40 minutes down the road every Wednesday, let me go to that same Chinese place I liked in the mall to eat, you know. And I’m sure she hated it. But she had a really big part in me staying after the music thing, cause that was right during that time I was in high school playing three sports, probably just figuring out that I like girls. And I probably didn’t put as much time into it as I wanted to or I should have, and she always kind of stayed on me with it, in the sense of she was very supportive of me learning the guitar and singing and all that. And her and Pops still come to shows all the time. So, I don’t know how they do it but they hang in there with me.”
