Country star Drew Baldridge lifts curtain on Jelly Roll's 'wild' entourage, Luke Bryan's 'country boy' life
Country music superstars may share the spotlight, but their lives behind the scenes can look very different.
Drew Baldridge, who recently released his album, "FARM FAITH FAMILY," got a front-row seat to both worlds — from Luke Bryan's down-home lifestyle to Jelly Roll 's jam-packed backstage scene, where the next unexpected guest could be just around the corner.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Baldridge shared details about what the country hitmakers are really like offstage, revealing why Bryan's humble roots and devotion to his family have stuck with him — and why Jelly Roll's backstage operation is anything but predictable.
JELLY ROLL SAYS HE COULD WALK AWAY FROM COUNTRY MUSIC IF GOD TELLS HIM TO: ‘Y’ALL WILL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN’ When it comes to the wildest backstage setup in country music, Baldridge knows who gets his vote.
"Oh man, I don't know what the weirdest rider thing is, but Jelly probably has the wildest backstage, because you just never know who's going to be there," he said.
According to Baldridge, Jelly Roll’s backstage crowd can rival the audience out front.

"Luke is just like one of my buddies I would grow up with," he said, adding that fame has not altered the superstar's personality .
"You'd think all the success that he had that he would change who he is or anything, but that dude's just a country boy." Baldridge said he recently visited Bryan for a dove-hunting trip, describing the experience as an afternoon spent with an old friend.
He said Bryan’s commitment to his family made an even bigger impression, particularly his determination to attend his sons’ football games despite his busy touring schedule.
"Watching him never miss one of his son's football games, flying home and even taking off Friday night to make sure he was at his boy's game, not playing a show that night – that's been really cool, I think," Baldridge said.
