New Track “Way Out Here” Released Friday
Listen Now
NASHVILLE (March 18, 2024) – On the heels of claiming his third No. 1 at Country radio last month for “Different ‘Round Here (featuring Luke Combs),” multi-Platinum singer-songwriter Riley Green’s fan-favorite new single “Damn Good Day To Leave” today claims the Most Added song at Country radio with 84 first-week adds. The song was a clear standout from his most recent album, Ain’t My Last Rodeo, which was released in October.
On Friday (3/15), Green released a cover of Josh Thompson’s “Way Out Here” via Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment. The track, written by Casey Beathard, David Lee Murphy and Josh Thompson and produced by Dann Huff, is the first song to be released following the success of Ain’t My Last Rodeo (currently on the second round ballot for Album of the Year at the ACM Awards). A fitting predecessor, “Way Out Here” brings a maturity to Green’s staple traditional Country sound coupled with lyrics that reflect the down-home way of life and values that his was raised on – and that fans clearly resonate with.

Despite St. Patrick’s Day having just wrapped, the celebration of all things Green continues as his 2022 track, “Hell Of A Way To Go” has also just been certified GOLD by the RIAA.

In addition, his inaugural Duckman Jam at Flora-Bama is set for April 12-13. The two-day Country music festival will be held at the legendary venue uniquely located on the Orange Beach, Alabama and Perdido Key, Florida line.

ABOUT RILEY GREEN:
Riley Green has been compelling Country music fans to raise a drink, shed a tear, and, above all, celebrate where they are from, since first releasing his self-titled EP in 2018 with Big Machine Label Group. His songs like the No. 1 PLATINUM hit “There Was This Girl,” the 2X-PLATINUM-certified heart-tugger “I Wish Grandpas Never Died” (which he performed live at the 55th ACM Awards), and his chart-topping collab with Thomas Rhett, “Half of Me,” have made Riley synonymous with what Country music does best: making listeners feel something with his no-gimmick, relatable writing and classic feel.
An avid sports fan, former athlete (Jacksonville State University quarterback) and outdoorsman, Riley is riding a wave of success after being named the Academy of Country Music’s 2020 New Male Artist of the Year, a former MusicRow Breakout Artist of the Year, a CMT “Listen Up Artist,” and one of CRS’s 2020 New Faces. Now playing to an average of 65,000 fans each night serving as direct support for Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs this year, Green headlined the Rock The South festival and is selling out his own headlining shows. Combs joins Riley on his third No. 1 single “Different ‘Round Here (Ft. Luke Combs),” the title track to Riley’s 2019 debut album that he re-recorded with Combs after seeing how fans connected to it.
His latest full-length studio album Ain’t My Last Rodeo, produced by Dann Huff, is more of the signature Riley Green fans have come to know and love from the good ol’ boy who still lives in his hometown of Jacksonville, AL. The project, heavily influenced by the rural, small town and slower way of life at home and time spent with his family, is available now. See tour dates and learn more at rileygreenmusic.com.
