Jelly Roll Read To Hit The Road This Weekend
Jelly Roll is ready to hit the road.
The singer/rapper kicks off his Backroad Baptism Tour on Friday, July 28, and will spend the next 11 weeks playing 44 shows across the U.S.
Jelly Roll said that his preparations for the tour have gone well beyond rehearsals.
“Y’know what I did this time? I’m embarrassed to admit this ’cause I feel a little bougie, like I betrayed my people, but I just bought 45 pair of boxers and 50 T-shirts and 45 pair of socks, and this way every night you can just strip ’em, put on the new and throw ’em away.”
His latest album is called Whitsitt Chapel, and its success has made the Backroad Baptism Tour one of the year’s most anticipated treks.
The album was released on June 2nd and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, No. 3 on the Country albums chart and No. 1 on the Rock albums chart.
It also spawned the hit “Need a Favor,” which was No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs charts and No. 3 on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts.
Jelly Roll’s current single, “Save Me” featuring Lainey Wilson, is currently climbing the charts.
