Role Model has one rule before showtime: shot time.
The “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” singer teamed up with Hydro Flask to kick off his “Chuck Timely” tour in Bend, Oregon, the brand’s hometown, and even designed custom products to mark the partnership.
“My only pre-show ritual is the band and crew all take a shot of tequila together before we go on stage. It’s a nice little tradition we have going,” he tells ET.
But the 29-year-old still sticks to the old-school rule of balancing every alcoholic beverage with a glass of H2O.
“It gets so busy on tour, and hydration is one of those things you can forget about until your voice or energy tells you you’ve been slacking. We got Hydro Flasks for the whole band and crew too, so everyone is set,” he notes.
As for what’s actually inside his bottle? Most days, he sticks to the basics.
“It’s usually just water. On tour, I’ll throw some electrolytes in there if I’m dying,” he quips.
His efforts to stay energized on the road don’t stop at what he’s sipping on.
“I usually wake up pretty early and try to get a workout in or some time outside. We found a pickleball court recently on tour and got a few games in, and I’ve learned that eating well and actually taking care of myself before a show makes a huge difference.”
When he’s not performing or squeezing in a match, Role Model is trying his hand at something new.
The musician starred in a playful video spot for Hydro Flask, giving fans a taste of his acting chops ahead of his debut in Netflix’s upcoming series, Good Sex.
“Music videos were probably the first time I really got to play around with it and realize how much I enjoyed it,” he says of acting.
“We had a lot of fun coming up with the concept, writing the script together, and filming it.”
