Jelly Roll is not an overnight sucess. He had to work hard and play a lot of small venues before he could sell out places like Simmons Bank Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Before he sold out that arena, he was so proud when he was able to fill all 200 seats at Stickyz Chicken Shack. From there, he started playing the Rev Room, which was next to Gus’ World Famous Fried Chicken. When they were done filling the seats, they would fill their bellies with fried chicken.
In honor of his return to Little Rock, he decided to pay for everyone’s meal at the chicken restaurant today. Making strangers as happy as he was when he would eat there.
The chart-topping singer had a message for the musicians who are performing at those same bars: “I played Stickyz ten times. I’ve played the Rev Room twenty times. Keep playing, baby! Keep Playing!”
Keep playing, and you might also one day sing at the Grammys and sell out Simmons like he did!
I hope everyone who got a free meal buys his new CD Beautifully Broken. After all, he is going to need the money to pay for all of those meals!
We need more stars like Jelly Roll who give back like this!
