From prison to Capitol Hill. Jason DeFord, better known by his stage name, Jelly Roll, appeared before congress today to share his story with the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee in an effort to help get the “FEND OFF Fentanyl Act” pushed through the house. “I’m guessing most of you didn’t have ‘Jelly Roll testifies at Senate Banking Committee’ on your ’24 bingo card.” Committee Chair Sherrod Brown After previously sitting down with People Magazine, where he opened up about his rocky past with drug addition, Jelly Roll told the story of his daughter, Bailee, being born while he was…

Nothing better than live acoustic performances. On Thursday Flatland Cavalry uploaded an acoustic video performance of “Forgotten” to their official YouTube channel. Off their most recent album, “Wandering Star,” the video was filmed outside underneath a beautiful sunset (or sunrise) in Los Angeles and features a lone frontman Cleto Cordero without his five other bandmates.

Make no mistake, however, Forgotten is one of the more…

On top of that, I’m a huge Dave…

It was released as the second single off her fourth studio album, “Four The Record,” and went on to win Song of the Year at the 2012 CMA Awards, as well as at the 2013 ACM Awards.
