The Atlanta Braves Clubhouse Is Full Of “Ella Fellas” According To Kyle Farmer
There’s one country artist that reigns above all other right now for the Atlanta Braves.
Some members of the Braves recently sat down with us on the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast. Third baseman Austin Riley, utility player Kyle Farmer, and the voice of the Braves Radio Network, Ben Ingram, all carved time out of their 162-game schedule to talk about their favorite country artists, what they like to do outside of baseball, and how the Atlanta Braves and country music have always been intertwined.
Austin Riley talked to us about how convenient it is for him that baseball season ends right when hunting season begins, Kyle Farmer (a Georgia native) discussed how fitting it is for him to be a member of the Braves at this point in his career, and Ben Ingram also gave some insight on how he takes care of his golden radio voice.
Though our conversations with the members of the Atlanta Braves varied, it always came back to country music. When we sat down with Farmer, he told us that he’s personally a big fan of Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen (and loves to cue up some 90s country), and that the team as a whole really digs the country genre:
“It’s a good clubhouse with a lot of guys who really love anything. But country music seems to be the theme around here, which is good.”
That comment led us to ask Kyle Farmer who the most popular country music artist is in the Braves locker room. Funny enough, the utility player for Atlanta didn’t need much time to think on it. There’s apparently one artist that everyone is in agreement on, and it’s not even close:
“Ella Langley, for sure. Probably that one. That’s one’s hot right now. Ella Fellas… where do you get those shirts?”

Imagine the Atlanta Braves rolling up for a game and they are all sporting “Ella Fellas” t-shirts. That’s something that would go viral online in a heartbeat.
And the team being super fans of the “Choosin’ Texas” singer works out quite nicely, considering Ella Langley is coming to town to be a part of Braves Country Fest. The celebration of country music is coming up on June 13 at the Home of the Atlanta Braves. It’ll feature a stacked lineup including Cody Johnson, Ella Langley, Ernest and Mackenzie Carpenter. The star-studded gathering of artists playing inside Truist Park makes for a can’t-miss event.
