It's a rite of passage in country music.

He learned an important lesson.

He's speaking out about his friend.

He pulled the song over the lyrical homage to the Confederate general.

He works hard, but he plays pretty hard, too.

The story of Riley Green's life can be told through his pictures on Instagram.

He chose an early decade Josh Thompson song as his cover, and we see why.

Watch as Green nearly disappears into his emotions during an emotional performance.

Warning: This video is graphic!

Both of Green's grandfathers have died, and if you're around him a little bit, you'll see that it still hurts.

Riley Green admits he had no idea what he was getting into.

Riley Green is new to the mainstream country scene, but he's ready to headline the stage.
