Riley Thomas was recently named SiriusXM The Highway’s newest “Highway Find.”

The selection was announced on Friday (Aug. 25) at SiriusXM’s Music Row Happy Hour live from Margaritaville in downtown Nashville. Ahead of the announcement, Thomas signed with DBLBLK Records/Elektra and released his major-label debut single, “I’ll Be Damned.”

The Florida native released “Cowboys Did Cocaine” independently last year and amassed more than 20 million streams. He has also scored cuts Kelsey Karter & The Heroines, Jelly Roll and more as a songwriter.

The “Highway Find” program is part of SiriusXM The Highway’s commitment to spotlighting new talent in the country space. Thomas nows joins a group of country stars, including Parker McCollum, Luke Combs, Griffen Palmer, Gabby Barrett, Maren Morris, Dan + Shay, Lauren Watkins and more.

“Stepping out of the bar to hear ‘I’ll Be Damned’ on the radio for the first time was one of those moments you live for,” shares Thomas. “I’m hugely grateful to Ania Hammar and the whole team at SiriuxXM The Highway for all of the love they have given to me and my music. Y’all keep listening, I’ll be damned.”
