current single: “DON’T MIND IF I DO” featuring Ella Langley

Riley Green has always been close to his family and has always had strong ties to his hometown in Alabama. Now that he has a successful career and spends much of his time traveling around the country and around the world, it’s more important than ever for him to get home every once in a while to reconnect with the people and places who inspire his music.

Riley Green – getting home is important :35

“Yeah, I think that probably for me, from a music business standpoint, it’s hard to have blinders in this town. When you’re so wrapped up in charts and awards and those type of things, it’s so easy to start looking at what somebody else is doing that’s having success. And for me, every bit of success that I had came from that small town in Alabama. It came from me playin’ in bars down there, writin’ songs, and playin’ ‘em for people down there. And it’s definitely very helpful to my career, inspiration-wise, to be in that place mentally. And then when you’re on the road, you know, you can almost forget what home feels like, what my grandmother’s house smells like, you know? So, it’s nice to go back every once in a while and kind of be reminded of that inspiration.”
