SUMMARY:Orianthi + The Black Moods at Celebrity Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Australian-born guitarist and singer Orianthi Panagaris\, aka Orianthi\, is a virtuoso performer whose sound is steeped in hard rock traditions. She first began wowing audiences in her teens\, opening for Steve Vai and jamming with Carlos Santana. After issuing her debut long-player Violet Journey in 2005\, Orianthi relocated to Los Angeles where she performed on national television with Carrie Underwood and was part of Michael Jackson‘s planned This Is It tour. She broke through to a wider audience with 2009’s Believe\, netting the international hit single “According to You.” Along with her own albums\, like 2013’s Heaven in This Hell\, she has continued to earn respect from veteran rock icons\, including forming the group RSO with Richie Sambora\, with whom she released Radio Free America in 2018. Through it all\, Orianthi’s searing fretboard skills and passion for anthemic rock remain her focus\, as evidenced by 2020’s O and 2022’s Rock Candy. \nBorn in 1985 in Adelaide\, Australia\, Orianthi Panagaris was only six when she fell in love with the electric guitar\, thanks to her dad’s record collection. Legendary names like Clapton\, Hendrix\, and Santana influenced decision to take lessons. She spent five years learning the acoustic guitar before switching to the electric at the age 11. Playing in bands since she was 14\, she performed in her first stage show for Steve Vai at the age 15. Subsequently\, she left school\, turned her focus to songwriting\, and began her professional career. Three years later\, at 18\, while working as a studio and utility player\, Orianthi met and jammed with Carlos Santana in Adelaide. He invited her on-stage to play during his soundcheck and was so impressed he asked her to perform with him that night. The single-song guest spot evolved into a 30-minute jam. With Santana‘s enthusiastic endorsement\, she went on to share stages with Prince\, ZZ Top\, and others. In 2006 she independently released her debut album Violet Journey. Not only did it receive enthusiastic press response\, it won her a record deal with Geffen. The album was reissued a year later by Universal\, while she played as an opener for guitarist Steve Vai on a world tour. \nUpon her return\, Orianthi emigrated to Los Angeles. While working on her sophomore album she played extensively as a session and touring musician. Her abilities were noted by millions of television viewers when she joined Carrie Underwood‘s band for a 2009 Grammy Awards performance. That same year\, an email invitation arrived asking her to audition for Michael Jackson\, who was assembling a band for a 50-date residency at London’s O2 Arena. One blistering rendition of the “Beat It” solo was enough to land the gig\, but the King of Pop unexpectedly passed in June of that same year. Orianthi sang at the memorial service\, and rehearsal footage of the guitarist backing Jackson was featured in the popular film Michael Jackson’s This Is It. \nHer second long-player\, Believe\, arrived several days before the movie’s release\, featuring the Top 20 single “According to You.” It was re-released in 2010 as Believe (II) with four different songs\, including a cover of John Waite‘s “Missing You.” It also featured a guest spot from Vai on the tune “Highly Strung.” The set charted inside the top half of the Top 200. The following year\, Orianthi released the digital EP Fire featuring production from the Eurythmics‘ Dave Stewart. In 2013\, Orianthi returned with her third full-length album\, Heaven in This Hell. Also produced by Stewart\, it contained all five tracks from the EP and centered on modern country and blues. It charted inside the Top 40 on the Independent Albums chart. Orianthi also appeared during the Top Seven week on season 12 of American Idol to play guitar for each of the performances. \nWhile working with Cooper in 2013\, she met former Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora who was vacationing in Hawaii. Cooper\, who was playing a benefit for the Maui Food Bank\, invited Sambora on-stage. He and Orianthi played Hendrix‘s “Voodoo Child” and Montrose‘s “Rock Candy” (the latter was sung by its original vocalist Sammy Hagar). The pair hit it off professionally and personally. A month later\, Sambora invited Orianthi to join him for a tour of Europe and Australia. By the time it ended\, they were a romantic couple. After fulfilling her remaining commitments to Cooper (while fending off numerous invites from Prince to join his band)\, Orianthi and Sambora built a home studio while making plans for a recorded musical collaboration. It took two years\, but by 2015\, the pair’s band\, called RSO (after their respective initials) enlisted Bob Rock as producer and began tracking some of the 70-plus songs they had penned together. In 2017 they released the five-track EP Rise and followed it a year later with the album Radio Free America. In May of 2018\, they performed during the 11th season of the PBS performance series Soundstage. Though they eventually split as a couple\, RSO remained a going concern. \nIn November of 2020\, Orianthi released her fourth solo album\, O\, produced by Marti Frederiksen on Frontiers Records. It was followed two years later by Live from Hollywood\, a concert album recorded at L.A.’s Bourbon Room. On the heels of that release\, she delivered her fifth studio album\, 2022’s Jacob Bunton-produced Rock Candy. ~ Matt Collar & Thom Jurek\, Rovi \nhttps://youtu.be/9W_gDJAfYWM?si=vYSZ1aqGEcUJ3S3l \n \nBorn in the Arizona desert and reared on stages across North America\, The Black Moods deliver a modern update of a timeless sound\, breathing fresh life into a familiar mix of electric guitars\, anthemic hooks\, and percussive stomp. The Black Moods’ three members — frontman/guitarist Josh Kennedy\, drummer Chico Diaz and bassist Jordan Hoffman — aren’t looking to reinvent the wheel. Instead\, they’re piling into a vehicle that’s existed for decades\, souping up the engine to suit their contemporary needs\, and steering those wheels toward their own rock & roll horizon. \nThe band formed in Tempe\, Arizona. Inspired by local heroes like the Gin Blossoms and Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers — both of whom have become champions of the Black Moods\, often tapping the group as a high-profile opening act — The Black Moods began building their audience the old-school way: by hitting the road. They toured heavily\, promoting albums like their 2012 self-titled debut and 2016’s Medicine with gigs across the country. By the time “Bella Donna” hit the radio airwaves during the summer of 2018\, The Black Moods’ fanbase had grown exponentially. The song became a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart\, paving the way for the band’s biggest shows to date. \nModern-day torchbearers of ageless rock & roll\, The Black Moods aren’t shy about nodding to their influences. “Bella Donna” was inspired by the Doors’ slinky strut\, while the chorus of “Bad News” points to rockers like the Foo Fighters.

SUMMARY:Tool & Elder at Footprint Center
DESCRIPTION:Tool established themselves as one of America’s most enduring and unpredictable acts with an ever-evolving brand of muscular but mind-altering sonics\, a wry sense of humor\, and a mystical aesthetic that attracted a cult-like following of devoted fans with just a handful of albums spread across decades. Their greatest breakthrough was to meld dark underground metal with the ambition of art rock\, crafting multi-sectioned\, layered songs as if they were classical composers. While embracing the artsy\, they also paid musical homage to the relentlessly bleak visions of grindcore\, death metal\, and thrash. Even with their post-punk influences\, they executed their music with the sound and feel of prog rock\, alternating between long\, detailed instrumental interludes and lyrical rants in their songs. Debuting in the early ’90s with Undertow\, they were initially lumped in with the nu-metal contemporaries of the time\, which made them a hit on rock radio with their sophomore effort\, 1996’s Ænima. However\, they soon broke away from those associations\, evolving beyond the confines of traditional song structures and song lengths\, crafting epics that often clocked in past the ten-minute mark on LP head-trips Lateralus (2001) and 10\,000 Days (2006). After a lengthy 13-year hiatus\, they returned to the fold in 2019 with their fifth opus\, the chart-topping\, Grammy-nominated Fear Inoculum. In 2022\, they celebrated their 30th anniversary with “Opiate²\,” a re-recorded version of their debut single. \nFormed in Los Angeles by percussionist Danny Carey\, guitarist Adam Jones\, vocalist Maynard James Keenan\, and original bassist Paul D’Amour\, Tool had a knack for conveying the strangled\, oppressive angst that the alternative nation of the early ’90s claimed as its own\, which helped them slip into the scene during the post-Nirvana era. Buffered by a prime slot on the third Lollapalooza tour in 1993\, their debut full-length album\, Undertow (Zoo Entertainment)\, rocketed to platinum status. Fervor for the band even resurrected their first effort\, 1992’s Opiate EP\, on the Billboard charts. While they were in the studio recording a follow-up\, D’Amour amicably parted ways with Tool and his spot was filled by Justin Chancellor. By the time the fresh quartet delivered their sophomore album\, Ænima\, in late 1996\, the alternative rock mainstream was ready. The album shot to number two on the Billboard charts and was certified multi-platinum in less than a decade. Singles “Stinkfist\,” “Forty Six & 2\,” and the Grammy-winning title track were all Top Ten hits on the U.S. Rock chart\, boosted by the twisted and often disturbing music videos created by Jones. After a co-headlining slot with Korn on Lollapalooza ’97\, Tool remained on the road\, supporting Ænima into the next year. \nAs nu-metal established its mainstream dominance at the close of the decade\, Tool returned to the shadows. During their hiatus\, Keenan formed a side project with former Tool guitar tech Billy Howerdel. A Perfect Circle debuted in 2000\, and their album Mer de Noms was a surprise hit. Their ensuing tour was a sold-out success as well\, which only served to fuel Tool breakup rumors. To quell the speculation\, they issued the stopgap B-sides/DVD set Salival late the same year. Meanwhile\, in the studio\, the band continued to journey down a new path that further distanced them from the mainstream. Delving deeper into their own mythos\, songs grew longer\, lyrics more inscrutable\, and artwork increasingly psychedelic. Though they retained their pummeling\, metal-oriented base\, the quartet smashed the formula by further experimenting with complex time signatures\, expansive atmospherics\, and a classical approach to song compositions. The first taste of 21st century Tool arrived in January 2001 with the Grammy-winning single\, “Schism\,” which was also their first song to chart on the Hot 100. Lateralus (Volcano) arrived that May\, topping the Billboard 200. Subsequent singles “Parabola” and “Lateralus” were favorites on the U.S. Rock charts\, and the album soon went multi-platinum. \nAfter another several-year sabbatical — during which time Keenan bounced back to A Perfect Circle — the group returned with another chart-topper\, 2006’s 10\,000 Days. Their most esoteric statement yet\, the album spawned the singles “Vicarious\,” “Jambi\,” and U.S. Mainstream Rock number one “The Pot.” Although it was also the band’s lowest-selling effort to date\, the record still managed to win the group their third Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. At the conclusion of touring\, Tool began another extended hiatus. Although the band re-emerged for a brief summer tour in 2009\, it would be another ten years before fans could hear new music. During this period\, Keenan debuted his de facto solo project\, Puscifer\, and returned for a third album with A Perfect Circle. Behind the scenes\, the band was also bogged down by a lawsuit that wouldn’t be resolved until 2015. The next year\, shaking off the cobwebs\, Tool returned to the road for another quick jaunt in the U.S.\, kicking off another cycle of speculation from fans starved for new material. \nAfter an interminable 13-year gap between albums\, Tool returned in 2019 with their epic fifth album\, Fear Inoculum. Their third straight chart-topper\, the set also featured their second Hot 100 placement to date\, the ten-minute title track\, which became the longest song to ever appear on that chart. Meanwhile\, for the first time\, Tool made their entire discography available for streaming; this propelled all of their past albums back to the charts\, breaking records in the process. They embarked on a sold-out arena tour of the U.S. alongside Killing Joke and capped their successful comeback with a pair of Grammy nominations for “7empest” and “Fear Inoculum.” The former track scored them a Grammy in 2020 for Best Metal Performance. In March 2022\, they released “Opiate²\,” a re-recorded version of their 1991 single “Opiate\,” issued to mark the 30th anniversary of their debut EP. ~ Neil Z. Yeung & Stephen Thomas Erlewine\, Rovi \n \n \nElder is a genre-pushing rock band that melds heavy psychedelic sounds with progressive elements and evocative soundscapes. Formed in a small coastal town in Massachusetts in the mid aughts\, the band has reinvented their sound over the course of six albums to grow from a stalwart of the stoner/doom scene into one of the most unique voices in the heavy rock underground. Their long-scale compositions unfold as journeys\, running the gamut of styles from the 70’s to the present within a single song with a penchant for “sheer gatefold-era grandeur” (Rolling Stone).

DESCRIPTION:Tool established themselves as one of America’s most enduring and unpredictable acts with an ever-evolving brand of muscular but mind-altering sonics\, a wry sense of humor\, and a mystical aesthetic that attracted a cult-like following of devoted fans with just a handful of albums spread across decades. Their greatest breakthrough was to meld dark underground metal with the ambition of art rock\, crafting multi-sectioned\, layered songs as if they were classical composers. While embracing the artsy\, they also paid musical homage to the relentlessly bleak visions of grindcore\, death metal\, and thrash. Even with their post-punk influences\, they executed their music with the sound and feel of prog rock\, alternating between long\, detailed instrumental interludes and lyrical rants in their songs. Debuting in the early ’90s with Undertow\, they were initially lumped in with the nu-metal contemporaries of the time\, which made them a hit on rock radio with their sophomore effort\, 1996’s Ænima. However\, they soon broke away from those associations\, evolving beyond the confines of traditional song structures and song lengths\, crafting epics that often clocked in past the ten-minute mark on LP head-trips Lateralus (2001) and 10\,000 Days (2006). After a lengthy 13-year hiatus\, they returned to the fold in 2019 with their fifth opus\, the chart-topping\, Grammy-nominated Fear Inoculum. In 2022\, they celebrated their 30th anniversary with “Opiate²\,” a re-recorded version of their debut single. \nFormed in Los Angeles by percussionist Danny Carey\, guitarist Adam Jones\, vocalist Maynard James Keenan\, and original bassist Paul D’Amour\, Tool had a knack for conveying the strangled\, oppressive angst that the alternative nation of the early ’90s claimed as its own\, which helped them slip into the scene during the post-Nirvana era. Buffered by a prime slot on the third Lollapalooza tour in 1993\, their debut full-length album\, Undertow (Zoo Entertainment)\, rocketed to platinum status. Fervor for the band even resurrected their first effort\, 1992’s Opiate EP\, on the Billboard charts. While they were in the studio recording a follow-up\, D’Amour amicably parted ways with Tool and his spot was filled by Justin Chancellor. By the time the fresh quartet delivered their sophomore album\, Ænima\, in late 1996\, the alternative rock mainstream was ready. The album shot to number two on the Billboard charts and was certified multi-platinum in less than a decade. Singles “Stinkfist\,” “Forty Six & 2\,” and the Grammy-winning title track were all Top Ten hits on the U.S. Rock chart\, boosted by the twisted and often disturbing music videos created by Jones. After a co-headlining slot with Korn on Lollapalooza ’97\, Tool remained on the road\, supporting Ænima into the next year. \nAs nu-metal established its mainstream dominance at the close of the decade\, Tool returned to the shadows. During their hiatus\, Keenan formed a side project with former Tool guitar tech Billy Howerdel. A Perfect Circle debuted in 2000\, and their album Mer de Noms was a surprise hit. Their ensuing tour was a sold-out success as well\, which only served to fuel Tool breakup rumors. To quell the speculation\, they issued the stopgap B-sides/DVD set Salival late the same year. Meanwhile\, in the studio\, the band continued to journey down a new path that further distanced them from the mainstream. Delving deeper into their own mythos\, songs grew longer\, lyrics more inscrutable\, and artwork increasingly psychedelic. Though they retained their pummeling\, metal-oriented base\, the quartet smashed the formula by further experimenting with complex time signatures\, expansive atmospherics\, and a classical approach to song compositions. The first taste of 21st century Tool arrived in January 2001 with the Grammy-winning single\, “Schism\,” which was also their first song to chart on the Hot 100. Lateralus (Volcano) arrived that May\, topping the Billboard 200. Subsequent singles “Parabola” and “Lateralus” were favorites on the U.S. Rock charts\, and the album soon went multi-platinum. \nAfter another several-year sabbatical — during which time Keenan bounced back to A Perfect Circle — the group returned with another chart-topper\, 2006’s 10\,000 Days. Their most esoteric statement yet\, the album spawned the singles “Vicarious\,” “Jambi\,” and U.S. Mainstream Rock number one “The Pot.” Although it was also the band’s lowest-selling effort to date\, the record still managed to win the group their third Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. At the conclusion of touring\, Tool began another extended hiatus. Although the band re-emerged for a brief summer tour in 2009\, it would be another ten years before fans could hear new music. During this period\, Keenan debuted his de facto solo project\, Puscifer\, and returned for a third album with A Perfect Circle. Behind the scenes\, the band was also bogged down by a lawsuit that wouldn’t be resolved until 2015. The next year\, shaking off the cobwebs\, Tool returned to the road for another quick jaunt in the U.S.\, kicking off another cycle of speculation from fans starved for new material. \nAfter an interminable 13-year gap between albums\, Tool returned in 2019 with their epic fifth album\, Fear Inoculum. Their third straight chart-topper\, the set also featured their second Hot 100 placement to date\, the ten-minute title track\, which became the longest song to ever appear on that chart. Meanwhile\, for the first time\, Tool made their entire discography available for streaming; this propelled all of their past albums back to the charts\, breaking records in the process. They embarked on a sold-out arena tour of the U.S. alongside Killing Joke and capped their successful comeback with a pair of Grammy nominations for “7empest” and “Fear Inoculum.” The former track scored them a Grammy in 2020 for Best Metal Performance. In March 2022\, they released “Opiate²\,” a re-recorded version of their 1991 single “Opiate\,” issued to mark the 30th anniversary of their debut EP. ~ Neil Z. Yeung & Stephen Thomas Erlewine\, Rovi \n \n \nElder is a genre-pushing rock band that melds heavy psychedelic sounds with progressive elements and evocative soundscapes. Formed in a small coastal town in Massachusetts in the mid aughts\, the band has reinvented their sound over the course of six albums to grow from a stalwart of the stoner/doom scene into one of the most unique voices in the heavy rock underground. Their long-scale compositions unfold as journeys\, running the gamut of styles from the 70’s to the present within a single song with a penchant for “sheer gatefold-era grandeur” (Rolling Stone). \n \n

SUMMARY:BEARTOOTH + The Plot In You at The Van Buren
DESCRIPTION:The fearlessly determined and creative Ohio-based powerhouse perfected a sound sought by a generation of bands\, equal parts solitary musical confession and celebratory exorcism. BEARTOOTH music is an outright refusal to suffer in silence\, weaponizing radio-ready bombast to deliver raw emotion mixed with noise-rock chaos. They combine hard rock and hardcore in a way that’s smart\, lean\, melodic\, and irresistible\, without apology. After over 900 million streams from songs like “The Past is Dead\,” “Fed Up\,” and “In Between”\, in addition to the band’s fourth album\, Below\, topping charts and finding its way into Best Rock/Metal Albums of the Year in 2021\, Rolling Stone introduced BEARTOOTH as one of 10 New Artists You Need To Know. The 2013 Sick EP was an emotionally stranded Shomo’s “message in a bottle\,” tossed into a figurative ocean. Disgusting (2014)\, Aggressive (2016)\, Disease (2018)\, and Below (2021) expanded those themes of desperation\, each sonically getting a step closer to the magical balance between the blood\, sweat\, and tears of classic recordings and the smooth gloss of modern production. Their latest single “Riptide” is the culmination of that battle: a furiously courageous song of self-empowerment serving as a victory lap to memorialize a struggle with mental health and self-acceptance\, which has defined so much of BEARTOOTH since its inception. BEARTOOTH offers no cure\, but the recovery comes in the process; the journey is the destination. So enjoy the ride. \n \n \nThrough balancing even the most extreme dynamics\, The Plot In You consistently overturn and upend expectations. On any given track\, it might seem like they’re about to go one way\, but the band will turn on a dime and shift course before the crowd can even catch a breath. This uncanny element of surprise has entrenched the gold-selling Ohio quartet—Landon Tewers [vocals]\, Josh Childress [guitar]\, Ethan Yoder [bass]\, and Michael Cooper [drums]—on the cutting edge of heavy music. Whether it be threads of alternative\, electronic\, pop\, or R&B\, nothing is off limits\, and everything is fair game for their creative process. That process has continued to morph. Following a series of fan favorite releases\, the band made major waves with DISPOSE [2018]. “FEEL NOTHING” surged on social media as a viral phenomenon\, generating hundreds of millions of streams and picking up a gold certification from the RIAA. The musicians only maintained this momentum with Swan Song in 2021. Hysteria rated it “9-out-of-10.” Simultaneously\, they sold out shows coast-to-coast. During 2023\, the band kickstarted another era with Vol. 1. “Divide” generated 9 million Spotify streams right out of the gate followed by “Left Behind\,” exploding to the tune of 15.9 million Spotify streams. Upon the arrival of “Forgotten\,” Revolver praised it among the “6 Best New Songs Right Now.” \n \n \nAmid a generation gripped by loneliness\, fear\, and a desperate concern for the state of the world\, Invent Animate are grabbing fans by the hand and choosing to walk with them. \nThere’s a sense of duty among the band – comprising vocalist Marcus Vik\, bassist Caleb Sherradan\, drummer Trey Celaya and guitarist Keaton Goldwire – to bare their own pain and tragedy for their listeners\, indeed creating a safe\, familiar place for listeners to process their own. It’s this deeply empathic and concerned approach to their output that sets Invent Animate apart\, and has seen the band develop a close knit\, cult-like following over their 10 years together. Stationed across Texas\, Colorado and now Sweden (following Vik’s recruitment in 2019)\, the four-piece mark the latest addition to the UNFD roster. Home to a plethora of the band’s touring partners including Silent Planet and ERRA\, alongside Spotify “sounds like” mates such as Like Moths To Flames\, Void Of Vision\, and Thornhill\, Invent Animate perfectly complement their new label address with their ambient metalcore\, djent and prog blends. \n \n \nIn January 2023\, Sleep Theory’s first song (“Another Way”) hit 500k views on TikTok within 36 hours of its release. But what seemed like an overnight success was years in the making. Since retiring from the US Army several years ago\, vocalist Cullen Moore’s dedicated his entire life to carving his own path in the music industry. Officially starting Sleep Theory in 2019\, the current incarnation of his musical journey began as a studio project to fuse his love of hard rock\, funk and R&B. \nNow a four-piece band\, Sleep Theory’s first two tracks both reached #1 on SiriusXM’s Octane\, played their first run of shows to massive crowds\, and signed to Epitaph Records for the release of their debut EP. Combining metalcore-like breakdowns with bluesy grooves and a pop sensibility made for modern radio\, they’ve also racked up 13M global streams in 6 months and saw “Numb” crack the Top 40 on the Active Rock chart.

SUMMARY:Olivia Rodrigo at Footprint Center
DESCRIPTION:After shattering records with her chart-topping\, 4x Platinum debut album SOUR – the fastest album in history to have all of its songs certified RIAA Platinum or higher – Olivia Rodrigo makes a monumental return with her new album GUTS\, revealing newly heightened sophistication as a vocalist and lyricist. Produced by and co-written with Daniel Nigro (her main creative partner on SOUR)\, each song intensifies the emotional honesty that’s always imbued her storytelling. Rodrigo expands her expressive palette\, uncovering entirely new dimensions of her artistry\, as exemplified by lead single “vampire.” \nHailed by Pitchfork as the “Best New Track” upon release\, “vampire” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 – as did SOUR hits “drivers license” and “good 4 u\,” making Rodrigo the first artist ever to debut the lead singles from two career-opening albums atop the prestigious chart. The 20-year-old is the youngest artist in Hot 100 history to debut three hits at No. 1. \nNamed the #1 Album of 2021 by Rolling Stone and hailed as one of the Best Albums of 2021 by The New York Times\, among others\, SOUR is now triple Platinum in the U.S. and has sold over 16.8 million global album adjusted units with over 66 billion streams worldwide. She received seven GRAMMY® Award nominations—including nods in each of the Big Four categories—and took home awards for Best New Artist\, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 64th GRAMMY® Awards. \n \n \nA purveyor of yearning keyboard pop and bright synth-backed anthems\, Chappell Roan is a singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. Her debut EP\, School Nights\, arrived on Atlantic in 2017\, and she had a streaming smash with “Pink Pony Club” in 2020. She went the independent route for subsequent releases\, including 2022’s “Naked in Manhattan” and “Feminomenon\,” and 2023’s “Kaleidoscope” and “Red Wine Supernova.” Roan’s first full-length\, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess\, landed in 2023. \nBorn Kayleigh Rose Amstutz in Willard\, Missouri\, in 1998\, she started taking piano lessons as a preteen as well as teaching herself to play along by ear to her favorite records. She was also a member of her school choir. After Roan won a school talent show in the eighth grade\, her mother encouraged her to perform around town\, and she soon began posting her music online. Still going by her given name\, Kayleigh Rose\, she visited New York City in 2015 for label showcases\, and on the strength of the single “Die Young” ended up signing with Atlantic Records as a junior in high school. Taking the stage name Chappell Roan (a tribute to her grandfather\, Dennis K. Chappell)\, her official debut single\, “Good Hurt\,” saw release in mid-2017. That September’s School Nights EP was accompanied by a tour in support of Vance Joy. By then relocated to Los Angeles\, Roan next toured with Declan McKenna and issued a series of singles\, including “Bitter” (2018) and “Pink Pony Club” (2020). A dramatic pop fantasy about a dancer\, the latter song garnered millions of plays on streaming services. \nRoan parted ways with Atlantic in 2020\, later returning in early 2022 with her first new material in two years\, “Naked in Manhattan.” A West Coast support slot for Olivia Rodrigo followed in May. She delivered more singles\, including “My Kink Is Karma” and “Feminomenon\,” before the end of the year. She kicked off 2023 with a headlining jaunt dubbed “The Naked in North America Tour\,” also releasing the streaming hits “Red Wine Supernova” and “Kaleidoscope.” These tracks appeared on her official debut LP\, the Dan Nigro-produced The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess\, which arrived in September. Roan supported the breakthrough release with “The Midwest Princess Tour\,” as well as a supporting slot on Olivia Rodrigo‘s GUTS tour.
