Role Model's been in love. He was so in love he wrote his entire debut album, Rx, about it. But not all romances last forever, and the 27-year-old's grieving of that same relationship is at the center of his sophomore album, "Kansas Anymore." He began the project in 2022 but, faced with the ending of a formative relationship, he scrapped much of this early work. On his own and reinspired, he started anew, collaborating with Noah Conrad, Ian Fitchuk, Scott Harris & Jonah Shy to craft "Kansas Anymore" — a folk-tinged, lyric driven album featuring 13 new songs including "Oh Gemini" and "Deeply Still in Love." Role Model is looking forward to playing these songs live, but more than anything, he’s embracing the sense of pride — and closure — he feels about making the album, about turning a personally heavy season of life into something that might move others. As rough as it was to ride that roller coaster of heartbreak and homesickness, Role Model feels these are the greatest songs he’s made yet.

Debbii Dawson has captivated audiences through her unassuming demeanor and soft voice, setting the stage for her exceptional vocal ability and musicality that pushes boundaries. A first-generation American raised in the rural Midwest, her musical legacy is rooted in her family history. Her grandfather in India taught himself to play the organ by drawing a keyboard on the ground with charcoal and passed that skill set to Debbii’s father, who then taught her. She grew up traveling with her parents as they toured the United States and internationally as performers. Through her artistic journey, she has created a playful, imaginative world of her own making, crafting a fusion of pop, folk, and country mixed with influences of iconic artists of the past, along with traces of her familial heritage, all woven together to form a rich musical tapestry that defies convention and is uniquely her own. Debbii released her debut EP, Learning, in 2023 and continues to leave her mark through the records she creates. A fresh and exciting new voice with new music set for release this year, Debbii continues to expand her world and invites audiences to join her along the way.
