Role Model's Time-Traveling Persona Dazzles LA

Role Model, performing as the time-traveler persona Chuck Timely, captivated a crowd of 6,000 at the Greek Theatre. This LA date was the final North American show for his tour supporting "Chuck Timely & the Hourglass," as the subsequent Berkeley stop was canceled due to illness. Despite a brief technical issue at the start, the energy quickly surged.

Pillsbury, as Chuck Timely, maintained a lively pace throughout his 90-minute set. He skillfully switched between singing and playing both acoustic and electric guitars. The performance included fan-favorite songs from various eras of his career, with quieter moments prompting fans to light up the venue with their phone flashlights.

The stage design was minimalist, featuring playful placement cards for band members. A notable moment involved audience participation for the song "Love I You," where a fan recited lyrics originally performed by his ex, Dakota Johnson. The concert also featured appearances by his parents and a mention of online personality Jake Shane attending the previous night.

During the show, Pillsbury shared humorous anecdotes, including a story about Jake Shane attending the prior night's concert to avoid attention from singer Reneé Rapp, who was expected at Friday's performance. The audience responded with cheers, scanning the venue for Rapp before Pillsbury playfully redirected their focus back to him.
