The Rocket Summer

The One-Man-Band Sensation
I’ve been rooting for Stephen Bryce Avary, better known as The Rocket Summer for 3 or 4 years…he’s a 28 year old from Dallas who writes and produces every song on his records and plays every instrument on them. His dad bought him a guitar at a pawn shop when he was twelve and he was hooked. He then started teaching himself piano, and drums, and saxophone. He put out his first album when he was sixteen. Couple years later he got signed to Island Def Jam. He just got off tour with One Rebublic. His new album came out about a month ago, debuted at number one on iTunes, knocking off the Black Eyed Peas. It’s called Of Men and Angels.

I had never heard of Rocket Summer, until my friend Brandon announced that he was appearing in Rocket Summer's new music video. Hahah, we were all so excited to see our fuzzy friend ("okay, ready? Go.") appear in a music video, and shortly thereafter I was hooked.
