Due to past convictions and jail time, Jelly Roll has been having a hard time booking live shows internationally.
But now he’ll perform international shows for the first time in his career next month.
George Strait made history with Saturday’s Texas A&M Kyle Field concert.
With 110,905 fans in attendance, the “Check Yes or No” singer set the record for the largest single-ticketed concert in U.S. history. The Grateful Dead previously held this feat with 107,019 Deadheads in attendance at their 1977 show at New Jersey’s Raceway Park.
George also helped set a new attendance record for Texas A&M Kyle Field.
“We got a lot of songs to play for y’all today/tonight. What a beautiful night, too, right? We got some new stuff that we’re gonna do also, we got a new album … out in September called Cowboys And Dreamers, so we got some stuff from that we’re gonna play from that for you also and we got a really special thing we’re gonna do for you, so alright, what are we here for?!” George told the crowd before kicking off his performance of “Here for a Good Time.”
The Texas native’s set included his notable hits “Amarillo By Morning,” “I Can Still Make Cheyenne,” “Check Yes or No,” “Troubadour” and “Take Me To Texas,” and songs off Cowboys And Dreamers, including “MIA in MIA,” “Three Drinks Behind” and “To the Moon.”
Cowboys And Dreamers, which includes the recently released “The Little Things,” drops Sept. 6 and is available for preorder and presave now.

The creation process behind Kelsea Ballerini‘s Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good) may have been unorthodox, but it came together in the best way possible.
“I sound like a broken record because I say it all the time. But Welcome Mat has just been the anomaly of my career because I wrote it so differently than I would any other album,” Kelsea tells the press. “I had just written my, like, proper 13-song – you know, through the label, A&R [artist and repertoire] – record. And then I very quietly was obviously going through a very big life change.”
“I made this record really selfishly, like truly for myself, and didn’t worry about where the songs would fit or if they would work in X, Y and Z,” she shares.
Now, Kelsea embraces her opportunities to sing these deeply personal, life-changing songs live.
“It was just like creative freedom and emotional freedom, and it changed my life. And so anytime I get to play these songs now, the songs that I swore I would never play live, now they’re the songs that I look forward to the most,” says Kelsea.
You can catch Kelsea performing on the Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde-hosted CMA Fest television special, airing June 25 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Caylee Hammack is introducing her forthcoming new project with a soaring number, “The Hill.” “‘The Hill’ is written from a place of a sad surrender, like a white flag being waved by a broken arm. It’s the battle that feels like the end of the war of love with this person, but you’re not quite ready for it to all end,” shares Caylee. “So you finally just surrender, not caring whether you were right or they were right, you just don’t want to lose the person on The Hill you were fighting on.”
Billy Currington‘s paying homage to small-town life with his new song “Everything Is Changing.” “Everything’s changing now/ I barely recognize my favorite town/ Yeah, everything that made me/ Is turning into memories/ And time ain’t slowing down/ Everything is changing now,” Billy reflects in the midtempo chorus. Billy’s forthcoming #1's Vol. 1 project arrives July 5 and is available for preorder now.
Country up-and-comer Tanner Adell‘s dropped “Too Easy.” The track joins Luke Combs‘ “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” Bailey Zimmerman‘s “Hell or High Water,” Megan Moroney‘s “Never Left Me” and Tucker Wetmore‘s “Already Had It” as previews of Twisters: The Album, arriving July 19.

Chris Janson‘s kicking off summer with “All American Guy.”
The track, which Chris co-wrote, finds him beaming with patriotic pride as he highlights the various American-centric things he enjoys.
“I love F-250s, Alan Jackson‘s ‘Little Bitty’ and the beauty of a small-town life/ I like my chili in a bowl, Bob Seger rock ‘n’ roll, football on a Friday night/ I love a cold beer can and The Charlie Daniels Band and my woman that I hold all night/ Yeah, I’m a pretty simple man/ Ain’t too hard to understand/ Just an all American guy,” Chris sings in the upbeat chorus.
“First and foremost, I want to thank the fans for this one coming out! We posted this song on my social media and the fan response was overwhelming,” Chris shares. “This one's for you! Hope everyone has a great all-American summer hanging out with this All-American Guy!”
You can catch Chris performing “All American Guy” and his latest single, “Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get,”on Fox & Friends‘ All-American Summer Concert Series on July 5.

As his career is skyrocketing, Jelly Roll said he’s simply feeling blessed these days.
The “Need a Favor” singer, 39, is fresh off his first-ever Grammy nominations and is the reigning CMA Awards new artist of the year – but he’s also just a family man when at home with wife Bunnie XO and his two children.
He is a dad to his 16-year-old daughter, Bailee, and 7-year-old son, Noah, both from previous relationships.
Jelly Roll told Good Morning America at CMA Fest 2024 that he’s looking forward to Father’s Day and revealed how he would ideally like to spend the holiday.
“Sitting on a boat somewhere with a bobber floating,” he laughed.
Jelly and his wife recently opened up about their desire to add another child to their household, and the singer revealed why he believes now is the perfect time for them to expand their family.
“I think we’re both really comfortable and stable,” he said. “I think both of us have kind of been runners our whole life and never felt real stability.”
He added, “Neither one of us came from proper home lives, so I think that we feel like we built a proper home.”
As for his professional life, Jelly, who released his new single “I Am Not Okay” on Wednesday, teased he’s got a “lot of new music” on the way.
“I’m writing more than I’ve ever wrote,” he said. “I’ve never been more inspired and met more people and heard more stories that I feel like I need to share – not for myself, but for them.”
Tune in to this year’s CMA Fest special, hosted by Jelly and Ashley McBryde, when it airs June 28 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu.
