Performing two songs from his second studio album, the deluxe edition of Kansas Anymore, Role Model debuted as this weekend’s Saturday Night Live musical guest.
Following the introduction from SNL host Amy Poehler, the 28-year singer/songwriter opened with “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out.” And true to his live performances where he has often invited a fan, another musician to play the part of Sally, it was Charli XCX who joined him live on television.
SNL‘s musical guest last November, Charli was met with screams from the audience who, after dancing and swirling her hair to the song’s bridge, slid her sunglasses onto Role Model’s face, blew him a kiss, and then walked off stage.
Born Tucker Pillsbury, the indie musician’s second performance was of the more mellow “Some Protector.”
In a revealing April interview with Rolling Stone, Role Model said “I think the one thing I wanted to prove when I first put it out was my growth — my songwriting and my taste in music had matured, and I had also matured as a person.” “It felt like a big shift in the way I would talk about things and write about them, and a big part of that was just me getting to a place on guitar where I could play well enough that I could write songs by myself on it.”
