The Little ASS Shed Tour Wraps Its Eastern Run in Syracuse
Jelly Roll closes out the eastern leg of The Little ASS Shed Tour at Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview in Syracuse, New York on Monday, June 23, 2026. The date marks one of the final stops on a limited 11-show amphitheater run that has taken the three-time GRAMMY winner from South Florida to the Gulf Coast, through the Carolinas, and across New England. With Kashus Culpepper providing direct support, the Syracuse show gives Central New York fans a chance to experience one of the most compelling live performers in country music in an intimate outdoor setting beside Onondaga Lake.
Empower FCU Amphitheater: Central New York’s Concert Hub
The Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview has established itself as Syracuse’s go-to outdoor concert venue, drawing major touring acts to the shores of Onondaga Lake every summer. The venue holds approximately 17,500 fans across reserved pavilion seating and an expansive general admission lawn. Its lakeside position in the Lakeview Amphitheater complex off Onondaga Lake Parkway provides scenic water views and natural ventilation that keep summer evening shows comfortable. The amphitheater is about 15 minutes from downtown Syracuse, with highway access from I-690 and I-81 making it reachable from across the region.
Why the Shed Tour Matters
In a year dominated by stadium-sized ambitions, The Little ASS Shed Tour represents something personal for Jelly Roll. His co-headline dates with Post Malone on The Big ASS Stadium Tour Part 2 are spectacles — 50,000-plus crowds, pyrotechnics, and the shared energy of two massive headliners. The amphitheater dates flip the script entirely. Here, Jelly Roll is the sole attraction, the setlist is his alone to build, and the venue size allows him to see faces in the crowd and feed off individual reactions. For an artist whose music is rooted in personal storytelling, that connection is everything. Syracuse fans get the benefit of a performer who’s been sharpening this intimate format across multiple shows by the time he reaches Lakeview.
The Music That Made Jelly Roll a Phenomenon
Jelly Roll’s rise defies easy categorization. A Nashville native who started in underground hip-hop and rap, he pivoted to country and rock while carrying his lyrical honesty with him. Songs about addiction, recovery, faith, and family resonate because they come from lived experience — DeFord has been open about his time in jail, his battles with substance abuse, and the people who helped him find a different path. The GRAMMY-winning Beautifully Broken distills all of that into an album that crosses genre lines, and the live show delivers those songs with a raw intensity that recordings can’t fully capture.

Syracuse and Central New York: Beyond the Concert
Syracuse offers more than you might expect for visitors coming in for a show. The city’s Armory Square district downtown is packed with independent restaurants, craft breweries, and live music venues. Destiny USA, one of the largest shopping and entertainment complexes in the Northeast, sits along Onondaga Lake not far from the amphitheater. For nature lovers, the Finger Lakes wine region begins just 30 minutes south of the city, with dozens of wineries, gorges, and state parks. Whether you’re driving in from Rochester, Utica, Binghamton, or Albany, the June 23 show is worth building a day around.
The Full Beautifully Broken Experience
Jelly Roll’s GRAMMY-winning Beautifully Broken is more than an album — it’s a statement of purpose. Co-written and recorded during a period of personal and professional growth, the record tackles faith, sobriety, fatherhood, and the complicated process of forgiving yourself. Tracks range from arena-ready anthems to quiet, almost hymn-like ballads, and the production gives each song its own space. In the live setting, these songs take on new dimensions — the quiet moments get quieter, the loud moments shake the ground, and the crowd fills in the gaps with singalongs that turn the venue into something closer to a church than a concert hall.
