Jelly Roll brought his Backroad Baptism Tour to the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina on Friday, October 6. The singer’s fans know that he takes every opportunity he can to make their concert experiences one to remember, and Jelly Roll did just that in Greensboro when he paid tribute to the late sister of one fan who was in attendance.
