Jelly Roll‘s music and relatable persona have made him a favorite of fans and celebrities alike. The four-time Billboard Country Airplay chart-topping artist recently played a show at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, N.Y., and the show not only aired on SiriusXM’s The Highway, but according to People and Variety, it had a star-studded list of attendees that included Jimmy Fallon, John McEnroe, Kelly Bensimon and Jon Hamm.
Jelly Roll’s set included songs such as “Halfway to Hell,” “Wild Ones,” “Son of a Sinner” and “Son of the Dirty South,” which he originally recorded with Brantley Gilbert. At one point, the Antioch, Tennessee native told the audience, “I make real music for real people with real problems,” adding, “I believe music can heal people.”
In addition to his own tunes, the country star offered covers of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” Green Day’s “Good Riddance” and Otis Redding’s “(Sittin’ On) the Dock of the Bay.”
The co-hosts of the SmartLess podcast — Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes — introduced Jelly Roll.
Arnett said, “Tonight’s performer is an incredible performer. He is a husband, he is a father, he is a philanthropist, he is a Grmamy-nominated artist, he is a CMA Award winner.”
Hayes added, “He’s performed in front of sold-out crowds, setting records at music festivals across the country. We are so excited to have him tonight. He’s about to kick off his tour, The Beautifully Broken Tour, [and is] releasing a new album very soon.”
Jelly Roll’s The Beautifully Broken Tour launches Aug. 27 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Listen to his Hamptons set on SiriusXM’s website.
