This tour promises an exciting lineup featuring openers Ella Langley, Drake White, and Channing Wilson, creating a vibrant atmosphere for fans.
Green announced the expansion of his tour, stating, "Damn Country Music Tour has crushed so far, so I'm adding some new dates and bringing some of my Alabama friends with me." This sentiment reflects not only his enthusiasm for the tour but also his desire to share the stage with fellow artists who resonate with his musical journey.

Reflecting on his album and the tour, Green shared, "I learned to play guitar to my granddaddy's favorite country songs from back in the day, and the new album is a throwback to the era when I first became a fan. For this tour, I found some of my favorite artists and songwriters to join us, and singing with Ella every night will be a lot of fun." This personal connection to his music and the artists he collaborates with adds depth to his performances, making them memorable for attendees.
