Eric Church loves North Carolina...
Jelly Roll is giving back...

Eric Church was recently given the North Carolina Award -- the highest honor in his home state. 
In his acceptance speech he told the crowd, “North Carolina is where I became me. I became a songwriter. I became an artist. I became a man.”

Jelly Roll is giving back. He is the the co-founder of Impact Youth Outreach, and he is offering college or post-secondary scholarships to students in financial need.
He is also opening a recording studio at a juvenile detention center in Nashville to help detainees develop skills they can use when they are released.
