Riley Green Shares the Stage With U.S. Marine for Moving Duet of \u201cIn Color\u201d in Chicago<\/p>\n

Riley Green turned his Windy City Smokeout set into a patriotic celebration on Sunday (July 13) when he invited a special guest, First Lieutenant Jackson Perkins of the United States Marine Corps, to perform Jamey Johnson\u2019s \u201cIn Color\u201d in front of thousands of fans.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Marine, dressed in full uniform, joined Green at center stage while the Alabama native strummed acoustic guitar. Green took a step back as Perkins delivered the second verse with his deep baritone voice: \u201cOh, and this one here\u2019s taken overseas \/ In the middle of hell in nineteen forty-three\u2026\u201d The crowd erupted as the performance unfolded, many capturing the moment on their phones.<\/p>\n

For Perkins, the song carries deep personal meaning. \u201cI draw a lot of personal connection to that song,\u201d he shared afterward. \u201cJamey Johnson himself was a Marine, so it means a lot to me, and it connects with so many people who think of their own loved ones who served.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perkins, currently stationed in Washington, D.C., has long dreamed of a career in country music. He has been writing songs, performing at open mics, and working with CreatiVets, an organization that helps veterans heal through art. Meeting Green backstage gave him the chance to prove his talent. \u201cI sang a couple lines of \u2018In Color\u2019 for him, and he just said, \u2018Let\u2019s go. Let\u2019s play it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
