Who are Riley Green parents?
Kevon Green (father)

Date of birth: December 31, 1956
Riley Green is a family man, and another generation’s values are reflected in his music. His single “I Wish Grandpas Never Died” from the debut album “Different ‘Round Here” became double platinum. No need to say, the family-oriented country singer is especially close with his father.
The name of Riley’s dad is Kevon Green. The man was raised in Anniston, Alabama. He is the son of Lola Jean and Buford Green. By the way, Buford (who died in 2010) was a musician and he ran Golden Saw Music Hall. It was Buford, who inspired Riley to become a country singer and songwriter. Kevon grew up with a brother Tyron.
Kevon has been happily married to Karen Bonds Green for years. They have three kids, including the hero of our story Riley. Kevon hates social media, and the only possible way to know about him is to read his son’s posts. The country singer loves his dad very much and congratulates him on Father’s Day regularly, also Kevon has no opportunity to find that post.
Mr. Green’s occupation is not publicized. It’s only known that he is a technical specialist.
Karen Green Bonds (mother)

Date of birth: August 24, 1955
Riley is especially close with his beautiful mother. The woman’s name is Karen Green and she is a daughter of a popular man in Jacksonville – Lendon Bonds. Her father, who passed away in 2019, was a United States Army veteran. He has been working for M&H Valve, a fire and water protection products manufacturer, for years. Karen’s mother, Nancy Bonds, has been a great-grandmother to Riley and his sisters. Karen has two siblings, a sister Patsy Boozer and a brother Rory Bonds. Both have created happy big families.
Karen is a Jacksonville State University graduate. She used to work as an account executive. She is the biggest fan of the singer Riley Green. She promotes her son on social media all the time. Karen likes to spend time with her five (as of 2023) grandchildren.
