On Feb. 26, ETSU announced that country singer Riley Green would take the stage for the Student Government Association’s annual spring concert. Special guests Maddie & Tae and Jordy Searcy will also perform on April 21 at 7 p.m. at the Freedom Hall Civic Center in Johnson City.

Green is recognized for his No. 1 platinum hit, “There Was This Girl,” and his chart-topping collaboration with Thomas Rhett, “Half of Me.” The Academy of Country Music named him the 2020 New Male Artist of the Year. Green’s music is inspired by the sounds of traditional country, bluegrass and Southern gospel.
