Jelly Roll’s health progress, George Birge meets The King | Music City Minute

Dec 16, 2024, 3:43 PM

Jelly Roll’s health journey has been extremely successful so far. He has set and reached serval lofty goals, including completing a 5k this year. However, his new goal is the most ambitious yet – appearing on the cover of “Men’s Health” magazine by March of 2026. The “Save Me” singer is well on his way to reaching that goal, having already lost over 100 lbs.
George Birge has opened up about meeting his idol, George Strait. In typical Nashville fashion, the “Cowboy Songs” singer was with a friend on Lower Broadway when they popped into a member’s only speakeasy. Only two other people were in the bar that night, The King and a friend. Birge got up the gumption to say, “Hi, my name is George too. I’m from Texas and make country music.” To Birge’s shock and amazement, Strait said he knew who he was and told the up-and-comer to keep up the good work!
