Raikwon Green

Hailing from the charming town of Vatican, Louisiana, Raikwon Green is a name rapidly becoming synonymous with soulful, authentic country music. This Friday at 10 pm, The Grouse Room will come alive with the heartfelt melodies and compelling stories of this rising star.

Raikwon Green's journey into music is as rich and layered as his sound. Raised in a family where music was a daily companion, Green's love for country tunes was nurtured by his aunt in Texas, whose constant stream of classic country left an indelible mark on him. His grandfather's garage was a sanctuary of sound where the timeless twang of country rhythms played a background to his childhood, while his mother's penchant for R&B added a soulful depth to his musical palette.

A proud alumnus of Carencro High, Green's initial foray into music was through the steady beat of the drums. His talent shone brightly as he became a key member of the UL marching band, but it was the solitude and introspection of the pandemic that truly allowed Green to discover his voice and passion for country music. Inspired by legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, and Travis Tritt, and modern stars like Dakota Johnston, Lainey Wilson, and Jason Aldean, Green has crafted a unique sound that pays homage to the greats while carving out his niche in the industry.

Raikwon's music is a testament to his life's experiences and the people who've shaped him. His song "You Look Good in Neon" reflects the bittersweet memories of a youthful crush at Cowboys, while "Whiskey Frame of Mind" captures the raw, introspective moments that often spark his creative process. Green's songwriting is as spontaneous as it is profound, with his best works often coming together in mere minutes, capturing the raw emotion and honesty that resonate deeply with his audience.

In 2023, Green had the honor of opening for Lainey Wilson, a milestone that solidified his place in the country music scene and hinted at the bright future ahead. His live performances are not just concerts, but heartfelt storytelling sessions that leave the audience feeling both reflective and inspired.
