Riley Green has been guilty of letting his mind wander on stage when he\u2019s performing.<\/p>\n
It happens to everybody at some point, but Riley has learned the importance of doing what he can to make sure he has a somewhat clear mind before he steps on stage every night.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a crazy thing, because when I used to just play a couple of shows a week, I had plenty of time to get everything else off my mind. And now you\u2019re so busy, there\u2019s so much travel. I mean, you spend a day on two flights, do a couple of interviews and then go play a show and do a couple of meet and greets, and it\u2019s hard to really get focused. I remember playin\u2019 a festival in Alabama and forgetting some words. There\u2019s 30-something thousand people there. And it wasn\u2019t very noticeable, you know, it was a couple of lines and I think I mumbled through \u2018em. But one of my old football coaches from college was there and he told me, he said, \u2018Man, it\u2019s just like a football game. You gotta take some time to yourself before the show and kinda get your mind in the right state.\u2019 When I was doing construction work I could do that and kind of just get through the day. But you can\u2019t do that doing this, you gotta make sure you got your mind right.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
