Riley Green & Carly Pearce: The Voice Mentorship!

Country music powerhouses Riley Green and Carly Pearce are joining forces once more, this time to mentor aspiring artists on The Voice. Pearce officially joins Green's team as a mentor starting Tuesday, October 6th.

Green cited their successful duet, "If I Don't Leave, I'm Gonna Stay," and Pearce's musical acumen as key reasons for his choice. He noted her ability to stretch his own creative boundaries during their collaboration, making her an ideal advisor for his coaching role. Pearce will also appear in episodes throughout October.

This isn't Pearce's first time on The Voice; she previously served as a playoff advisor for Michael Bublé's team in 2024. She believes that regardless of genre, a mentor's experience with dreams and aspirations makes them relatable to contestants.

Green likens his coaching style to Blake Shelton's, aiming for humor and a good-natured dynamic with fellow coaches. He aims to help contestants discover and lean into their unique strengths, drawing from his own journey of gaining confidence through performance.

Pearce plans to offer constructive criticism while also highlighting each contestant's individual talents. Green added that their role is to provide confidence, especially for artists new to performing, by validating their strengths based on their own experiences.

Balancing The Voice commitments with touring has been challenging for Green, who has also been filming Season 31 concurrently. Despite the demanding schedule, he views these opportunities as unmissable.

Both artists shared valuable advice from their grandparents: Pearce's mother advised her to "never forget where you come from," and Green's grandfather suggested, "The best time to leave is when everybody wishes you'd stay," a motto he applies to performances to leave audiences wanting more.

When asked about potentially becoming a coach herself, Pearce expressed openness to discussions. Green also indicated his willingness for future duets with Pearce, stating, "She asks me, I will."
