Who is Cooper Riley? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising artist here…
Cooper Riley
Quick Facts:
Full name – Cooper Riley McGhee
Birthdate – 02/04/2004
Hometown – Memphis, Tennessee
Current city – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical influences – John Mayer, Chris Stapleton, Randy Travis
Current Single – “Outta Time” (as of date of article: 09/14/2026)
The Beginning:
Today’s spotlight artist has had music in his life for as long as he can remember. Cooper Riley chatted with us about his love of music, his upbringing, and of course, his current music. With family roots in Arkansas and the Memphis area, the rising singer-songwriter grew up surrounded by country and blues music.
“I guess I have been around music my entire life,” he shared. “My mom’s side of the family’s from Arkansas, and so they all play blues music and country. I’ve just been kind of around that my entire life and always loved it.” Despite his early love for music, becoming an artist did not necessarily feel like a realistic career path. Growing up, he remembers looking at artists on stage and assuming that somehow they were simply chosen to be there. “I just kind of never really saw it as a reality,” he shared.
Around twelve or thirteen years old, he began playing piano, after dabbling with guitar when he was younger. As a fan, the singer grew up listening to artists like Keith Whitley and Randy Travis, as well as John Mayer, an artist that was played often on his mom’s side of the family. Today, artists like Chris Stapleton, Kameron Marlowe, and Cody Johnson have also influenced his sound.
It wasn’t until a few years ago that pursuing music started to feel like something he needed to try. After spending roughly two weeks in the hospital, the singer found himself with plenty of time to play guitar and think about what he really wanted. “I had nothing else better to do than kind of mess with music and play my guitar and stuff like that,” he shared, adding, “That’s kind of what made me decide that I was just gonna give it a shot and see what I could do with it.”
Around the same time, songwriting became another creative outlet. The singer remembers being about seventeen years old, playing guitar with friends in his parents’ backyard when an idea popped into his head. He disappeared for thirty to forty-five minutes and came back with his first song. “I’m not saying it was the best song,” he joked.
Still, it was the beginning of a songwriting style that continues to influence his music today. “I want to kind of keep it as personal as possible, but also keep it to where people can relate to it in some sort of way,” he shared.
The Turning Point:
Before making music his full-time focus, the singer was working at a boat dealership, selling surf boats and teaching people how to wakesurf. While he admits it was a pretty cool job, between that experience and his time in the hospital, he began thinking more seriously about what he really wanted for his future.
“I was 18, 19 years old and I was like, ‘I’m young now. I might as well do this because I don’t want to be 50 or 60 years old wishing that I would have done it,’” he shared. With the support of his parents, he took the leap and made the move to Nashville.
While in Nashville, Riley connected with a producer through a family friend before eventually working with other producers and slowly learning more about both his music and the industry. “It was definitely a process, a very confusing process,” he shared. “Whenever I first got here, it’s kind of one of those things that you want it to all happen immediately. Honestly, I’m kind of grateful that it didn’t happen that way, just because if it did happen that way, I wouldn’t know all the things that I do now.”
Today:
Flash forward to today, and it’s truly just the beginning for Riley. The singer-songwriter recently released his new single, “Outta Time.”
The song was born from an honest conversation during a writing session. At the time, he was going through a low point and struggling with the feeling that his career wasn’t moving quickly enough. “I was like, ‘Dude, I was kind of at a low point, I guess, and I was like, you know, I just feel like I’m wasting time in a way,’” he recalled. That feeling became the inspiration for the track.
“In this music industry, you feel like all you’re doing is watching the time ticking in front of your face,” he shared. “It’s just like you’re waiting for that moment, you’re waiting for that break or whatever it is,” he shared, adding, “If you spend more time meeting people and writing good music and working on things that you need to be working on instead of just waiting around, I feel like you’ll be more successful that way.”
Much like the songs he set out to write when he first started songwriting, “Outta Time” is personal to his own experience while still leaving room for listeners to relate to it in their own way.
Moving forward, fans can expect plenty more from the rising artist. While he couldn’t share too many details just yet, more new music is already on the way, along with more live shows throughout the year. “There’s definitely gonna be some more music coming this year, which I’m actually very, very excited for.”.
Stay tuned!

Who is Ethan Garner? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising artist here…
Ethan Garner // Photo credit: Bree Fisher
Quick Facts:
Full name – Ethan Garner
Birthdate – 01/31/2003
Hometown – Jefferson, Georgia
Current city – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical influences – The Eagles, Elvis Presley, Bon Jovi
Label – RECORDS Nashville
Current Single – “Put the Wine Away” (as of date of article: 09/07/2026)
The Beginning:
Today’s spotlight artist is rising singer-songwriter, Ethan Garner. We chatted with Garner all about his upbringing, his love for music, and of course, his brand new project, The Georgia Kid. Keep reading to learn more.
Growing up in Georgia, Garner had music all around him. His father was a huge music fan and talented singer himself, always playing classic records. He also played Southern gospel and Christian music and even recorded an album of his own. “My dad was a very big fan of music. I mean, there was always a lot of classic records on and a lot of like The Eagles, Elvis Presley, that kind of stuff,” shared Garner.
While the singer-songwriter loved music, he didn’t start seriously pursuing it right away. In high school, he was more focused on playing football, but his love for music and entertainment was always there. The singer recalls having almost every inch of his bedroom walls covered in posters and magazine clippings of artists he loved.
It wasn’t until college that Garner started to really explore music for himself. While attending Georgia Southern, he began playing in bars and watching other Georgia artists like Luke Bryan and Cole Swindell build careers in country music. Seeing their success helped make the dream feel possible for him too, and eventually, Garner began making trips to Nashville.
Around the same time, the singer also found a deeper connection to his faith. After a period of partying in college, Garner traveled on a mission trip to Panama, an experience that changed his relationship with his faith. “I think it was the first time I really experienced a strong, genuine interaction with the Holy Spirit,” he shared. “I had been kind of a believer, Christian faith my whole life, kind of just go to church, but that felt like it was my own kind of relationship.”
Later that summer, he spent several weeks in Thailand on another mission trip before returning home and making the move to Nashville to attend Belmont University.
The Turning Point:
Shortly after moving to Nashville, Garner’s career began to take shape in an unexpected way. While at Belmont, the singer needed an internship for his degree and reached out to a friend at River House. After sending over his résumé, Garner received some brutally honest feedback. “He said, ‘This résumé sucks,’” Garner recalled with a laugh.
Instead, his friend encouraged him to start posting videos on TikTok. He took his advice, sharing a Katy Perry cover that quickly took off. Soon, management meetings began coming in through Instagram direct messages, eventually connecting him with his current manager, who introduce him to a publisher. Within his first couple of months in Nashville, Garner had both a manager and a publishing deal and began diving headfirst into songwriting.
Although Garner had always respected songwriters, writing was not initially the part of being an artist that excited him most. He loved the idea of touring, playing shows, and being in the studio. Over the last few years, however, songwriting has become one of the most important parts of his artistry. “I think over the last two years, now more than ever, I think it’s the most important thing to me,” he shared, adding, “I think I’ve really grown into figuring out how to say what I want to say.”
Today:
Now, Garner is ready to introduce himself with his debut EP, The Georgia Kid, which came out on September 4th. The project gives fans a taste of his Georgia roots, his personality, and the type of artist he hopes to be moving forward. “I feel like this is a great introduction,” shared Garner. “I’ve always kind of straddled that left of center line, not being super traditional, and there’s a lot of cool stuff in this. It just gives you a little glimpse of what’s to come in the future.”
When it came to choosing songs for the project, Garner paid attention to what fans were already gravitating towards. “Put the Wine Away” was the first original song of his to really take off on social media after he posted it on a whim. “I remember I just threw it up randomly and it had a couple hundred thousand views the next day,” he shared.
Still, The Georgia Kid is about more than what performed well online. Garner wanted the collection of songs to tell his story. “Heart of Georgia” references real places near where he grew up, while “Put the Wine Away” shows off his personality and some of the retro influences that have shaped his sound. “There’s just some good personality and some storytelling in this,” he shared. “It does a good job to really tee off what the rest of my career will look like and sound like.”
“Put the Wine Away” came to life after Garner found himself playing around with a riff and different melodies before a writing session. Pulling from the old-school music he grew up on, the playful track centers around the idea of not needing alcohol to enjoy a moment with someone. While Garner is excited about the entire project, he currently names “Put the Wine Away” and “A Classic Southern Man” as his favorites.
With The Georgia Kid officially out in the world, he is ready to keep the momentum going. Fans can expect more music and plenty of live shows, something the singer believes is one of his biggest strengths. “I think our best thing is live performance,” he shared. “We love playing shows.”
With more music on the horizon and a debut project that gives fans a true taste of who he is, it’s safe to say the rising artist is one to keep on your radar.

Mmm // I know I come home a little late some nights // It’s just a couple beers and poker with the guys // Baby, I could never // Find me someone better to love, oh no // Ain’t nothin’ to hide, ain’t runnin’ around // It was hard not to laugh when you asked me just now”
