Bend is up first. How lucky are we?! ROLE MODEL, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, will launch the entire North American leg of CHUCK ON TOUR at the
Hayden Homes Amphitheater before the tour heads to New York, Nashville, Los Angeles and beyond. It’s an opening night show, live on the Deschutes River.
He arrives in Bend fresh off his newest release, his third studio album, “Chuck Timely & The Hourglass,” which is streaming now at rolemodel.lnk.to/chucktimely. To celebrate the album’s release, Pillsbury returned to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to perform the track, “Harmony,” following the Billboard Hot 100 single “High Hopes 3000” and the music video for “Joy.” It’ll be a night full of new songs, with some of his oldies but goodies sprinkled in for fans to enjoy music from across all eras of ROLE MODEL like “Writing’s On The Wall,” “Look At That Woman,” and “Old Recliners.”
Supporting ROLE MODEL is indie pop-rock artist Samia, known for popular tracks like “Big Wheel,” and “Bovine Excision.” You may also recognize her from her appearances on NPR’s Tiny Desk series, interviews with Rolling Stone and performances at major music festivals including Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and The Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City.
Then comes the moment every ROLE MODEL fan secretly (or not-so-secretly) lives for.
Think, Charli XCX on “Saturday Night Live.” Renee Rapp in Los Angeles. Niall Horan in London. Natalie Portman at Madison Square Garden. Kate Hudson in Aspen. Al Roker on the “Today” show plaza. That’s right, we’re talking about guest-featured Sallys! Each night on tour, when ROLE MODEL reaches the bridge of “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out,” he pauses, looks out at the crowd and asks the question everyone is waiting for.
Sometimes it’s a celebrity, but more often, it’s simply a fan who brings the right energy at the right moment and gets pulled from the crowd to dance the bridge out onstage with him. Pillsbury has said there’s no real formula to it. He simply picks whoever is giving the most that night. So from the moment you walk through the gates, give him something to see. You never know who he’s calling up next.
Could you be Bend’s Sally? Try your luck on Sept. 9!
