The Rocket Summer is an one man band. His name is Bryce Avary and he writes all of his music, composes it and puts it all together by himself, he just needs help when he is performing. One thing is for sure and that's, that he sure knows how to give fans their money's worth. I have been a fan of him since his album "Do You Feel" came out in 2007, so technically I'm still considered a new fan. But I must admit, he is one who isn't given the credit that he deserves, I can't wait for him to get bigger and finally recognized more within the music scene and he is finally rising up as he opening for big names now such as The Goo Goo Dolls and One Republic.
I have seen him before on the Cheap Date Tour with Forever The Sickest Kids in Philly, but then he was just an opener, so I did not know what to expect for a headliner, but he totally nailed the show! By far it was probably the best show I have ever attended in my life time and trust me.. despite my age i have attended over 30 shows within a 5 year time span.. He was so interactive with the crowd. He jumped into the crowd multiple times, played one song in the middle of the crowd & then let the audience help him "swim" back to the stage, he even let us choose the songs he was going to play for his encore letting the ones in the front pick out a song. The fact he is so into his crowd, shows how dedicated he is to his music and his fans.
Bryce's performance over all was amazing. He had so much energy and the whole show in itself was something inspiring for anyone who has a passion for music. One thing that stood out the most at his show was the fact he played for a good hour and 45 min, and was even able to do a solo in which everyone could get a better insight on how Bryce is truly is a one man band. he started out by getting the band off the stage, he started off with a drum beat and kept it going and put it on repeat. then he moved to the bass where he did the same thing, and then again on the guitar and keys. Once all the parts were put together for the intro of his song "Break It Out", the rest of the band came out and they played the song. That was something I haven't seen anyone do before.
At the end of the night, Bryce came out and hung out with the fans for a bit which in my opinion was awesome. Talking to him, he seemed very tired and sounded exhausted, but then again who wouldn't after playing such a long set. I appreciate the fact he still had the time to come hang out with everyone and didn't leave until everyone had an autograph and picture with him, because some artists won't come and hang out after shows if they are tired, or want to go to an after party.
If you havent already checked out The Rocket Summer, i suggest that you do. His music and shows are really inspiring and uplifting. (:
