Multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter Riley Green solidifies his reputation as a “road warrior,” (Pollstar), as he announces extensive headlining run, ‘Damn Country Music Tour,’ set to kick off this Spring.
Of the tour, Riley shares, “I learned to play guitar to my granddaddy’s favorite country songs from back in the day and the new album is a throwback to the era when I first became a fan. For this tour I was able to find some of my favorite artists and songwriters to join us, and singing with Ella every night will be a lot of fun.”
Released in support of the tour, Green is revving up his engine in a hilarious parody of the iconic 1977 film “Smokey and the Bandit.” In a playful reenactment, he channels the legendary Bandit (Burt Reynolds) with Ella Langley as runaway bride Carrie (Sally Field) as they evade the cops in a sleek Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Green grabs the CB radio to call out to his opening acts, inviting them to join him on the road. The scene is perfectly set to the iconic tune “East Bound and Down,” performed by the late Jerry Reed, adding a nostalgic flair to this lighthearted tour announcement. Buckle up—this ride promises plenty of laughs and great music!
The upcoming tour celebrates Riley Green’s forthcoming third studio album, Don’t Mind If I Do, which will be out October 18. Delivering more of the signature sound that fans can’t get enough of and continuing down the path he set forth with Ain’t My Last Rodeo, Green leans even further into pulling inspiration from his small-town life in rural Alabama to deliver an honest, relatable and at times humorous 18-track project. Currently on an incredible hot streak, Green’s well-earned confidence in his work shines through with five of the tracks being solely written including standouts “Jesus Saves,” “Worst Way” and the title track—which finds Green reuniting with his “you look like you love me” duet partner Ella Langley, with whom he shares the hit track that has quickly seen more than 162 million global streams and is continually climbing toward the top of several viral charts, including top 15 on the Mediabase country chart. Dann Huff produced the project along with Executive Producers Scott Borchetta and Jimmy Harnen.
