‘I Can’t Believe My Fat White Ass Is in the Hamptons!’ Jelly Roll Rocks Bradley Cooper, Jon Hamm, Howard Stern and More Elite at SiriusXM Show: Concert Review
Fast-rising country star Jelly Roll rocked an elite crowd including Bradley Cooper and Jon Hamm in New York's tony Hamptons for a SiriusXM show.
And although it was a specially invited audience of SiriusXM subscribers and superstars like Bradley Cooper, Jon Hamm, Jimmy Fallon, Shawn Levy, George Stephanopoulos, Fox 5 co-host Rosanna Scotto and at least one Real Housewife, there was a warmth to this plus-sized, heavily tattooed, deeply gracious and galvanizing artist’s performance that speaks not only to his raucous fusion of country, rock and hip-hop, but also his one-in-a-million ability to connect. The show was broadcast live over the network’s Highway channel — listen here — and throughout the set Jelly shouted out the listeners and thanked the SiriusXM for its support and the role it has played in launching his late-blooming career: He’s nearly 40 and has been at it for two decades, and now that his moment is here, he is clearly savoring it, thanking the audience graciously multiple times as well as his wife and two children, his mother and four siblings, his band, crew and team — and spoke at length about how far he’s come from the East Nashville projects where he was raised, not to mention the substance abuse and years in prison that he’s risen so far above, yet will always remain with him. Like many special SiriusXM shows, Jelly Roll played a custom set, combining his hits and songs from his forthconing album with a fascinatingly curated bunch of covers that are basically his musical DNA.
