Jelly Roll Brings Inmates On Stage To Sing
Jelly Roll posted a video on his Instagram this week of him visiting a jail where he watched inmates sing. After he left the jail, he had a crazy idea to bring some of those talented inmates on stage with him at his local arena show.
Jelly posted a video of him visiting the inmates and watching them sing. He wrote in a lengthy post, “One of the most special moments of my career happened last night. Before the show, I had the honor of stopping by a jail in Chesterfield, Virginia where they have a program called Helping Addicts Recover Progressively(HARP). I’ve had the pleasure of getting to visit and talk to the folks in this program before, but this time something surreal took place. Sheriff Leonard allowed 4 members of the program to not only come to the show but come on stage and perform the music with me.”
He continued, “I don’t know what it was about me, but I only ever believed things could happen whenever I got close enough to see them happening in front of me. My hope for bringing these men out on stage with me is that they can see a larger picture of what life can become. The place they’re in now is not the end, and the future can be so much more than their wildest dreams. I can never thank and praise the HARP program enough for making this happen, the work they’re doing is truly invaluable.”

Jelly recently posted a lengthy video on his Instagram of himself on his newly purchased land, and the singer got quite emotional.
He says in the video in part that his father never purchased land or had a farm when he was growing up, and when his father died, it was one of his biggest regrets.
Wearing a Tennessee Titans ball cap, Jelly says, as he tears up, that his father gave him advice to buy dirt and get some land.
He takes a deep breath and says in part, “I came here today to pray over it. I came here to walk barefoot in it, and most of all I got my phone out of my pocket to look in your eyes and say thank you. I was never brave enough to dream that I would be here like this today, thank you all for the success of Beautifully Broken. Thank you for changing my life, man. I am standing here breaking a generational curse right now, and I hope it inspires you all to do the same. I love you all.”
