At the sold-out New Country Closeup concert in Atlanta, Ashley Cooke stepped in to fill Ella Langley’s shoes for a special duet with Riley Green — and it was pure magic.
On December 4th, at The Eastern, fans were treated to a surprise performance of “Don’t Mind If I Do,” the heartfelt breakup ballad from Riley’s latest album. As Riley played his acoustic guitar, his smooth Alabama twang kicked off the song, pouring out the raw emotions of moving on but still feeling the sting.
After Riley’s opening chorus, Ashley’s stunning voice joined in, harmonizing beautifully on the second verse. Together, their voices created a moment that gave the crowd chills. Ashley then took the spotlight for the final verse, delivering a soulful, touching performance that left everyone hanging on every word.
Fans couldn’t help but pull out their phones to capture this unexpected duet, sharing the special moment all over social media.
This wasn’t the first time another talented female artist stepped in for Ella Langley — just last month, Megan Moroney wowed the crowd with the same song at a concert in Florida.
