100,000+ Tickets to Riley Green’s Damn Country Music Tour Sold In Less Than Eight Hours
Tune In October 22 to NBC’s TODAY for a special performance of the CMA Award-Nominated “you look like you love me” with Ella Langley
Multi-PLATINUM singer-songwriter Riley Green elevates his already skyrocketing career with the release of his highly anticipated third studio album, Don’t Mind If I Do. Following his viral hit with Ella Langley that has amassed nearly 200 million global streams and earned the pair a CMA Award nomination, this album marks a thrilling continuation of Green’s hot streak, solidifying his status as one of the genre’s most exciting rising stars.
The 18-track project, out on Green’s birthday via Harbor Records & Entertainment features Green’s signature heartfelt lyrics and humor in his storytelling with infectious melodies. Don’t Mind If I Do promises to captivate fans and newcomers alike, showcasing the unique sound that has garnered millions of streams and a dedicated following.
“It feels fitting that this album is out on my birthday because this project feels very true to who I am, where I come from and what I’ve learned along the way,” shared Green. “I learned to play guitar to my granddaddy’s favorite country songs from back in the day and this new album is a throwback to the era when I first became a fan.”
Don’t Mind If I Do delivers more of the signature Riley Green sound that fans can’t get enough of. 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 and relatable point of view for his latest 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 gained viral traction and is continually climbing toward the top of several viral charts. Dann Huff produced the project along with Executive Producers Scott Borchetta and Jimmy Harnen.
Last month, Green announced his new album, celebrated the grand opening of Riley Green’s Duck Blind, earned a CMA nomination for Musical Event of the Year for “you look like you love me” and revealed his extensive headlining ‘Damn Country Music Tour,’ with a video that has folks questioning if it’s “the best tour announcement ever” (Whiskey Riff/Country Now). The creative tour announcement gave a nod to the classic “Smokey and the Bandit” with a video featuring the Country star and all of his opening acts. The tour, set to kick off March 27 in Abbotsford, BC, Canada, sold 100,000+ tickets within eight hours. To purchase tickets, visit Riley Green’s website. Additional dates to be announced in the coming months.
During Green’s album release party at Riley Green’s Duck Blind last night (October 17), executives from Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment and Big Machine Label Group presented the singer with a GOLD-certified plaque for “Worst Way.” Additionally, Green’s “There Was This Girl” is now certified 2X PLATINUM by RIAA. This announcement comes on the heels of Green receiving a plaque to commemorate his self-penned hit “I Wish Grandpas Never Died” going 3X PLATINUM.
