Conner Smith reeling after weekend accident, Riley Green sets record straight about his mustache | Music City Minute

Up-and-coming artist Conner Smith was involved in a fatal accident the first weekend in June. The “Creek Will Rise” singer was driving his truck through an intersection on the north end of Nashville when he apparently struck a 77-year-old woman, and, unfortunately, that woman passed away from her injuries. The crash investigation is still ongoing with the singer fully cooperating with authorities. The initial police report noted that Conner Smith showed no signs of impairment on the scene.
There is one name in country music that we cannot get off our lips right now – Riley Green. Some buzz has been floating around about why he shaved off his mustache recently (which had nothing to do with a girl, by the way). He cleared up the speculation, explaining he shaves every summer to avoid the farmer’s face tan. That makes sense considering how much time he spends outside. Green is also privy to the comments about his clean, shaven face and dramatic appearance. “Someone said I went from Tombstone to finance!” said the Worst Way singer with a hardy chuckle. Personally, I am team mustache.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
