Growing up near Jacksonville, Alabama, he loved the outdoors, playing three sports in high school and football in college. Yet for all the time that music and hunting take up in Green’s life today, he came to both activities later in life. I’ve gone and carried my guitar and become an honorary member of a lot of hunting clubs because of that,” Green says. “To be honest, I do that kind of stuff a lot. His radio commitments and headlining Outlaws Like Us Tour keep him crisscrossing the country, but in October alone he squeezed in hunting trips to Georgia and Wisconsin. Some fans have even gotten to know Green personally through his hunting. A lot of people who know me from the hunting show didn’t even know I played music.” “I don’t know that it really catapulted me into signing a record deal, but it definitely didn’t hurt. “Most fans are hunters, or at least outdoor-type people, which has been a huge help,” he says. That rise has been fueled in part by an unexpected source: Green’s role hosting an online hunting show, In the Hunt, that airs on. His progress hasn’t gone unnoticed, with outlets like Billboard and Rolling Stone naming him a country artist to watch. Five million of those alone belong to “There Was This Girl,” which has climbed all the way to Number 26 on Billboard’s Country Music Chart.

It’s still the same stuff that I enjoy about it today, what got me hooked on it to start with: The chase.” “I remember getting off work and going in the woods to try and catch this deer. “The first time I went deer hunting, I fell in love with it,” says the 30-year-old Green, who released a four-song EP titled In a Truck Right Now in June 2018 on the Nashville, Tennessee-based Big Machine Label Group. ![]()
