Jelly Roll is officially a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
The three-time Grammy winner became the newest Opry member during an emotional evening on the historic stage in Nashville, Tennessee. Fellow Opry member and “Save Me” duet partner Lainey Wilson formally inducted Jelly Roll on Tuesday evening (March 10), following an emotional video that recapped Jelly Roll's Opry journey. Craig Morgan, Leanne Morgan, ERNEST and others took the stage in Jelly Roll’s honor. Sheriff Daron Hall and Davidson County Juvenile Correctional Professional Yolanda Hockett attended Jelly Roll’s Opry induction, marking a full circle moment for the Beautifully Broken artist.
Jelly Roll thanked them “for their belief and guidance since he encountered both in his time serving at the juvenile center, as well as members from the Judge Dinkins Educational Center, who Jelly currently works with to support and empower underserved youth,” states a press release issued after midnight CT. “He also thanked his family including his Mom who was sitting in the front row, marking the first time she had seen him perform at the Opry.”
