Jelly Roll has been named the recipient of the prestigious Artist Humanitarian Award presented by Country Radio Broadcasters. The honor will be presented during Country Radio Seminar (CRS) 2026, taking place March 18-20 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Established in 1990, the Artist Humanitarian Award recognizes country artists whose philanthropic efforts have significantly advanced the causes they champion. Past recipients include leading figures such as Eric Church, Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, and Carrie Underwood.

The three-time Grammy-winning artist is being recognized for his advocacy and outreach surrounding addiction recovery, mental health awareness, youth reform, and community support initiatives. Beyond his chart success, Jelly Roll has become widely known for using his platform to encourage hope, redemption, and transformation through direct engagement with communities and organizations across the country.

CRS 2026 will bring together broadcasters, artists, label executives, managers, and media professionals for three days of education, networking, and live performances. Programming includes the 6th Annual Digital Music Summit, morning networking sessions, label luncheons with performances, Bob Kingsley's Acoustic Alley songwriter showcases, surprise pop-up events, and CRS Honors recognizing influential contributors to country radio.

General registration is currently $698 per person, with limited single-day passes available for $349. Tickets for the New Faces of Country Music® Showcase are sold separately and remain limited. Organizers note that online registration closes soon, after which registration will be available on-site in Nashville.
