Country musician Riley Green is no stranger to reality television. A decade ago, Green was a contestant on the fourth season of the competition show Redneck Island. He was playing clubs in his hometown when he was approached about joining the show, a stylized riff on the Survivors Setup in which 24 “rednecks” compete against each other in various competitions in the wilderness. There was $100,000 in prize money at stake, but Green was more interested in using the show as a launchpad for his music career.

Ten years later, Green, considered the country’s “newest heartthrob,” is returning to reality TV – but not as a contestant. He appears as a musical guest during the two-day live finale of The voice Season 26. Green will appear alongside a star-studded cast including Sting and Snoop Dogg, former coaches Kelly Clarkson and Dan + Shay, Myles Smith and Tears for Fears.
