Jelly Roll has taken the world by storm, but only his music.<\/p>\n
He’s NEVER performed internationally, and there’s a reason for that.<\/p>\n
His previous felonies for armed robbery, and a slew of drug offences from when he was younger, have made it so that America hasn’t wanted to give him a passport, and other countries don’t want him in.<\/p>\n
But there’s good news… he and his people have FINALLY started clearing the path for him to take his show ABROAD.<\/p>\n
He has his first international gig in Canada next month. He’s playing a show in St. Catherines for a foundation\u00a0which is “dedicated to offering indigenous youth support for mental health and addictions,” and he’s also playing\u00a0Ottawa Bluesfest.<\/p>\n
It’s unclear if any other international gigs are in the pipeline.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile,\u00a0Jelly’s new song, “I Am Not Okay” just came out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wrote \u2018I Am Not OK,\u2019 because a lot of people in the world are not OK. It doesn\u2019t matter what you have or what you don\u2019t have, people still have problems. Mental health is real. I have prided myself on being someone who makes real music for real people with real problems and it\u2019s OK to not be OK. I hope this song helps people or at least lets them know they are not alone.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
