Album: “Do You Feel”

Description

The Rocket Summer: Bryce Avary (bass guitar). <p>Additional personnel: Martin Gregg (saxophone); Steve Madaio (trumpet); Nicholas Lane (trombone); Patrick Warren (chamberlin); Jim Wirt (bass guitar). <p>On his 2007 major-label debut, DO YOU FEEL, the one-man-band known as the Rocket Summer--aka Bryce Avary--delivers on the promise of his indie releases, coming across like a less angst-ridden Dashboard Confessional on a power-pop kick. In addition to Avary's multi-instrumental skills and boy-next-door charm, the young Texan performer excels at crafting immediately engaging arrangements, as best embodied by the joyous, piano-driven "So Much Love," which hints at his strong Christian faith. An ambitious and assured artist, Avary fully displays his considerable talents on the emotive DO YOU FEEL, an album that will likely win over a legion of both CCM and secular fans.
