The show features an all-star panel of musicians
What started as a tribute is now a tradition. An all-star cast of musicians is coming together in the Nashville area to pay tribute to late comedian and musician Leslie Jordan. Reportin’ for Duty has been announced for February 17th at Humble Baron at the Nearest Green Whiskey Distiller in Shelbyville, Tennessee.
As a long-time supporter and fierce advocate of many causes, including the Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) community, the late, great entertainer Leslie Jordan coined the phrase Reportin’ for Duty to describe his calling to a life of service.
Last February, a diverse group of artists including Eddie Vedder, Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne, Lukas Nelson, Jelly Roll and more – came together on the Grand Ole Opry stage under that same phrase to celebrate the light and love of Jordan and to support EB Research Partnership (EBRP).
This year, the intimate concert features Post Malone joined by EBRP co-founder Eddie Vedder, Jelly Roll, The War And Treaty, Jake Wesley Rogers, and others at the world’s longest bar.
There are only 250 seats with tickets starting at $2,500 each via EBRP’s website.
Jordan passed away in October 2022 in Hollywood while en route to the set of Fox’s Call Me Kat. Jordan was 67 and suffered from a medical emergency.
In 2021, Jordan released his southern gospel-inspired duets album, Company’s Comin’, with appearances by Ashley McBryde, Brandi Carlile, Charlie Worsham, Dolly Parton, Eddie Vedder, Katie Pruitt, Tanya Tucker, TJ Osborne, and others.
Best known for his roles on Will and Grace and more recently Fox’s Call Me Kat, the Emmy Award-winning Jordan had seen a surge in popularity since his relatable, slice-of-life videos went viral on social media in 2020. He was well known for starting his videos with the catchphrase, “Well, shit!” during the lockdown.
