The Rocket Summer

Texas Native Bryce Avary The Singer/songwriter/multi-Instrumentalist/producer Mastermind Behind The Rocket Summer Has Accomplished Enough For Someone A Lot Older As He Prepares To Record His Fifth Full-Length Studio Album. “We’re Not Talking Simple Acoustic Solo Stuff Here. The Music Bryce Avary Makes As The Rocket Summer Is Lush Explosively Catchy And Artful Power Pop That Hints At A New Brian Wilson Or Prince In The Making. Keep An Eye Out On This One.” - AustinCityLimits.Com Since Launching His Career As A 16-Year-Old With The Independently Released The Rocket Summer EP A Name He Took From A Ray Bradbury Short Story Bryce Has Toured Around The World Selling Out Venues Not Just In The US But Canada The UK Australia And Japan While Playing Such Noted Events As UK’s Glastonbury Festival Scotland’s T In The Park Japan’s Summer Sonic Festival Australia’s Soundwave Festival Austin City Limits SXSW Bamboozle Cornerstone And The 2007 And 2010 Vans Warped Tour. “I Try To Write Songs The Whole World Would Want To Sing Along To But I Also Want To Make An Album Of Genuine And Honest Songs Written From My Heart That Musically And Lyrically Are Better Than Anything I Have Done Before And Above All Will Be An Album That Would Hopefully Move And Affect People. For Me It's All About Focusing Everything You Have On Making The Greatest Music You Can Without Banking On Anything Else. I'm Grateful To Be Doing This And I Want To Do This For The Right Reasons."

 For Someone As Spiritually Motivated As Avary That Means He Focuses On The Struggles And Victories Of Life’s Often-Challenging Journey In His Most Recent Release On Island Def Jam Records Titled Of Men And Angels As Well As On The Current Album He Is Recording.

The Album Debuted #38 On The Billboard 200 And # 4 On The Billboard Top Rock Albums Charts. This Is Just One Instance Of How Avary’s Loyal Hardcore Fan Base Has Supported The Rocket Summer Throughout The Years.
