What began as a silly inside joke among friends turned into one of music’s most unexpected friendships. Jelly Roll and his crew had laughed for years about finding a little person named Ron to join their tour, never imagining they would actually meet their imaginary “Little Ron” in person.
The magical moment unfolded outside a smoke shop when Jelly Roll’s friend spotted the perfect man inside. As Ron exited the store, Jelly Roll and twenty-five friends held their breath, then erupted in cheers that could have either offended or delighted their unexpected guest. When Ron approached the group with curiosity, Jelly Roll immediately asked if he wanted to join their tour. Without any hesitation, Ron replied “Yeah,” leading Jelly Roll to offer better pay than his Burger King job, full living arrangements, and even a Nashville home between tours.
