Jelly Roll will make his Austin City Limits debut on Saturday (Nov. 2), with the premiere of a six-song set that includes his Billboard Country Airplay chart top 5 hit “I Am Not Okay,” as well as chart-toppers including his four-week No. 1 Country Airplay hit “Need a Favor.”
In an early look at the performance, Jelly Roll tells the audience just before launching into “I Am Not Okay,” “The thing about these shows are, is that it's more than a concert, it's more than music. It's bigger than me, it's bigger than the music, it's about the message. It's about redemption, it's about second chances, it's about being OK with not being OK sometimes.”
At one point during his ACL appearance, he tells the crowd about how he grew up watching the show, recalling that he had posters of artists including Willie Nelson and George Jones on his walls at home. He also pays homage to Austin by making the “Hook 'Em Horns” hand sign, a symbol honoring the University of Texas at Austin Longhorns.
To date, Jelly Roll has earned five No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay hits, and with his new album, Beautifully Brokenthe Antioch, Tenn., native reached new career heights, with the set debuting at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart.
The Nov. 2 episodes featuring Jelly Roll's debut performance will also feature husband-and-wife duo The War and Treaty performing songs including “Blank Page” and “Leads Me Home.”
Jelly Roll's Austin City Limits debut comes as ACL is celebrating its 50th anniversary season, honoring five decades of presenting music's top artists. The 50th season has already featured performances from artists including Kacey Musgraves, Black Pumas, Maggie Rogers, Nickel Creek and Brittany Howard.
