The Rocket Summer: Feel the Force
Bryce Avary’s life reads something like a Hollywood script … up to a point. Talented teen records album at age 16, performing all instruments and vocals himself. At 19 he signs to the very hip, indie label, The Militia Group (Copeland, Lovedrug), gets lots of college radio airplay and gathers a cult following.
With Do You Feel, The Rocket Summer has recorded a high energy pop/rock CD filled with hope and a call to action. Rather than merely living a life marked by verbal platitudes, Avary says he is “really desirous of doing something.” Yet, he admits it’s all too easy to find excuses and just do nothing. Songs like “Break it Out” and the title cut ask us to not just talk about our faith but to live it out every day in the way we treat others. For Avary this translates to his involvement with To Write Love On Her Arms a ministry aimed at bringing hope to teens whose broken lives seem hopeless. He is also passionate about the Invisible Children campaign (invisiblechildren.com).
Much of Avary’s philosophy can be summed up by one song on the album that is sure to ruffle a few feathers: “A Song Is Not a Business Plan.” The Rocket Summer is about creating art that is honest, real and glorifying to God, rather than compromising for the sake of getting a radio hit or making money—something Avary sees happening all around him. On paper it sounds simple: create the best art you can while living in the world as salt and light, and something grand is bound to happen. Easier said than done, but Bryce Avary is one artist who truly desires to walk the talk.
