Colleyville, Texas - USA (2000 – present)

26-year-old Bryce Avary from Colleyville, Texas - USA is the man behind The Rocket Summer, a piano and guitar-driven rock’n’roll project in which he writes and performs everything himself. As a talented multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer, Bryce has proven himself to be the epitome of a hard-working musician. Starting with local shows as a teenager in Dallas/Fort Worth, Avary’s local fan base grew, and he released his first album in 2000. Beginning by distributing his EP personally under the name The Rocket Summer to local stores, his music appeared on The Adventure Club segment of the KDGE radio station, and became the most requested local band on the program that year.

With write-ups featured in local, national, and international magazines, and copies of his re-released EP (The Early Years EP) selling in 5 continents, Avary recorded his new album Calendar Days under The Militia Group label, which was released in 2003. Generally considered an uplifting album, Calendar Days sold extremely well in the US and Japan.

In November 2004, Avary began working with producer Tim O’Hier in Brooklyn to record his sophomore LP, Hello, Good Friend. It was released in May 2005 through The Militia Group. The Rocket Summer is now signed to major label Island Records.

On July 17, 2007, his third LP, entitled Do You Feel, was released. He strives for a message about doing greater things for the world and overcoming the things in life that get in the way. “Hope is a huge part of this and I want people to feel connected to that,” said Avary.

I wonder, is this band's name derived from Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles? :)

...it doesnt matter as long as your enjoying the music.going to the shows is more support than buying the album.artists make more money from shows and merch than they do albums because album sales dont go directly to their pocket and merch/show money does.record labels make more money off record sales than the artist does.thats why a lot of the smaller artists are always touring because its how they make their money.

Yeah that's fine Jord_X! I'm glad you support music, especially the ones worth it. But your right people are broke and can't afford music. Music should be a gift to humans, not a price. But the way our life works, it's a career and they expect you to go out and buy their music. But most artists these days use computers to make their music, unlike Bryce where it's all real. I can't wait for his album!

I wasn't attacking you, but I was clearly stating that you know, some people can't afford to buy an online version and then buy a psyical copy. Just because some people choose to download his albums doesn't mean they don't support him, I usually download albums and then buy them at the show. Just like on Bryce's last tour I bought the Do You Feel album.
