Country singer Jelly Roll performs at Oregon prison

SALEM, Ore. – Country singer Jelly Roll has been hitting high notes with his recently launched “Beautifully Broken” tour, captivating audiences across the U.S. with his powerful performances. However, his latest show wasn’t like the others – it took place at the Oregon State Penitentiary.

The award-winning artist shared a glimpse of the extraordinary experience on Instagram, showcasing his rendition of Johnny Cash’s classic “Folsom Prison Blues” and his heartwarming interactions with inmates at the Salem prison.

Describing it as the first live music event in the prison yard in two decades, Jelly Roll expressed his belief in the power of love and redemption for all individuals, regardless of their past mistakes.

In a touching moment, the 39-year-old, who found solace in music while incarcerated in his youth, serenaded the captivated audience with his emotional lyrics that often draw from personal struggles and battles with addiction.

One inmate, profoundly impacted by Jelly Roll’s music, shared how a particular song from the artist’s album sparked a positive change in his life, leading him to embrace sobriety.

From his humble beginnings as a rapper to his remarkable transition into a celebrated country musician, Jason DeFord, known by his stage name Jelly Roll, continues to inspire through his music. His heartfelt performance at the prison reflects his commitment to spreading hope and light in even the darkest of places.
