Country singer Jelly Roll was world's away from his southern roots during a high-end Hamptons soiree Saturday with Hollywood elites in attendance at packed show.
Jelly Roll knows music can bring people together from all walks of life, and he proved it Saturday night. The country artist who overcame a troubled past performed a headlining gig for a lucky few hundred guests on behalf of SiriusXM, live from Stephen Talkhouse in the Hamptons on Saturday night. Jelly Roll, whose full name is Jason Bradley DeFord, mingled with the stars who turned up in droves to see his show, including Howard Stern, Bradley Cooper, Jon Hamm and Jimmy Fallon.
The 'Son of a Sinner' singer was introduced to the stage by the SmartLess hosts, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, who sat down for a live podcast taping with Howard Stern prior to the show. 'I never would have thought my fat, white-trash a-- would be in the Hamptons,' Jelly Roll told the audience, according to Page Six. 'This is an incredible scene.
By the way, I love this story, too,' Stern told Jelly Roll. 'That song, 'Save Me,' was inspired by the song by Bette Midler, ‘The Rose,’ because you and your mom used to listen all the time.' Stern asked if Jelly Roll had ever met Midler, to which he responded, 'Oh goodness no. If I meet her or James Taylor, I'm going to cry on the spot.' 'This is a beautiful song, ‘The Rose,'' Stern said.
My mother would play this. Keep in mind she was a really dark woman at the time. She would say, ‘Play this at my funeral,'' Jelly Roll recalled. 'She would sit at the kitchen table … I still get emotional listening to it. And she would smoke these cigarettes, and she would just be like, ‘Just remember to play this when I die.’' He added, 'So, the first tattoo I ever got was a rose on my back with her name.
