Jelly Roll performs for LA fires first responders
Jelly Roll is giving back to first responders who have been battling the fires in Los Angeles for over a month.
The Grammy nominee partnered with Live Nation Saturday night at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, for the “A Concert for All First Responders” to thank them for their efforts.
“I want you to know that you are here tonight because you are a hero or you are a loved one of a hero,” he told the audience from the stage.
He continued, “And I knew the moment I was watching this go down all the way in Tennessee in my house, I thought if I got a chance to go to California I was gonna play music to everyone who worked their ass off for the last 2 months trying to keep the rest of this place safe. Thank y’all for having me tonight – this is awesome!”
