Riley Green’s Road to Country Fame Started on a Reality Island

Did you know before Riley Green got famous he was a contestant on theCMT reality show “Redneck Island”?  It was in 2016 . . . and he and his partner won.  They split $100K. At the time, Riley was still grinding it out on the bar circuit in Alabama. He said, “I thought I was just gonna retire after that . . .Then I found out what taxes are pretty quick.  And the IRS found out I was a person.”

Did you know that Ashley McBryde has a mocktail bar on Broadway in Nashville?  It’s called Redemption and it’s on the 5th floor of Eric Church’s bar “Chief’s”. It features only non-alcoholic drinks, because she’s three years sober.  Which got me thinking?  What other country stars live a sober lifestyle? 1.  Brad Paisley   2.  Brantley Gilbert   3.  Keith Urban   4.  Charles Kelley   5.  Chris Janson   6.  Jake Owen   7.  Jason Isbell   8.  Jo Dee Messina   9.  Jon Pardi   10.  Shania Twain

Kane Brown recently broke down the household dynamics with his wife, Katelyn Brown. He said he disciplines the kids, his wife disciplines him. The joke is that Kane is the “manager” of the household . . . but his wife, Katelyn, is the “GM”. Kane even said that backstage his labels read “Boss”, while hers are labeled “Kane’s Boss.”
