Jelly Roll has teamed up with the Grand Ole Opry to do something big for Nashville.

Why Is Jelly Roll Teaming Up With the Grand Ole Opry?

Jelly will be playing two shows on Monday, Sept. 22, at the Opry to raise money to benefit the Nashville community and some charities that ring close to his heart, the Judge Dinkins Educational Center and the Buddy DeFord Charitable Fund.

Jelly Roll — whose real name is Jason DeFord — started the Buddy DeFord Charitable Fund to honor his late father, Buddy, and to support nonprofits addressing some of the most pressing issues facing the community.

The Judge Dinkins Educational Center was created by the prosecutor who charged Jelly for crimes when he was a kid, Judge Jim Todd. Since then, they’ve worked side-by-side to provide resources that enable youth to change their lives for the better.

The “Save Me” singer is bringing friends for these two shows at the Opry: Bailey Zimmerman and Graham Barham.

How Do I Get Tickets to Jelly Roll’s Upcoming Grand Ole Opry Shows?

If you are going to purchase your tickets in advance, that’s fine, everything is already set up and good to go on the Opry’s website.

If you buy tickets to this show now, a portion of the proceeds will still go to the JDEC and the Buddy DeFord Charitable Fund.

But wait, there’s more…

Anytime Jelly performs at the Opry from now through September 2026, portions of the ticket sales will also go to the same two organizations.

Since cannonballing into country music in 2021, Jelly has shown that helping America’s youth and giving back to communities is one of his main goals.

As the light shines on him he redirects it to struggling folks who need it more, and for that we will forever love Jelly Roll.

How Old Is Jelly Roll?

Jelly Roll is 40 years old. His birthday is Dec. 4, 1984. The “Son of a Sinner” singer broke into country music as a rookie, at the age of 37.

Who Is Jelly Roll’s Wife?

Jelly Roll is married to Alyssa DeFord, aka Bunnie Xo. They married in 2016 and renewed their vows in 2023. If you need a peek inside a relationship that is based on true love, these two are it.
