During his Damn Country Music Tour, Riley Green has traveled across the country and the world to showcase his hits such as “You Look Like You Love Me”, “Worst Way”, “Hell Of A Way To Go”, and “I Wish Grandpas Never Died”. But, you probably already knew that. However, what you might not know is what happens behind the stage at a Riley Green show, and the events leading up to it.
Well, Green and his team were kind enough to let us equip him with a disposable camera so he could let the country music community know just what he does behind the scenes.
A Look Behind Riley Green’s Home State Show
As if he were an MLB player, Riley Green saunters into the Birmingham Barons’ minor league baseball stadium ahead of catching a game and signing autographs for fans.
A signature of Riley Green’s is bringing baseball on the road, particularly batting practice. As you can see here, Green sets his sights on an incoming pitch and then hits an absolute bomb(Well, at least we’d like to think). This is a staple tradition for Riley on the road, and he brought it with him to Birmingham.

As of now, the Alabama-native is currently on the way to wrapping up his Damn Country Music Tour. Shortly after its conclusion, Green will turn around and embark on the Cowboy As It Gets Tour starting in April of 2026.
