His small stature does not reveal the vibrant voice and passionate lyrics of 24-year-old musician Bryce Avery.

The front man of the band The Rocket Summer proved this Saturday night at Cervantes to a crowd of loyal Denver fans.

In town for the night, The Rocket Summer followed two acts in the intimate venue, taking the stage before headlining band Early November completed the evening.

“I love coming to Denver,” Avery said prior to the show. “We have really great shows here and really great fans here.”

The Rocket Summer has been building its fan base for years.

According to Avery, the band appeals to a crowd of mostly college – and high school – aged fans.

“They’re really loyal and hardcore,” said Avery of his fans. “It’s a big blessing to have them.”

Saturday night, Avery played songs from several of his past albums, including music from Hello, Good Friend, his most recent release.

“When I wrote that, I was going through a pretty crazy time in my life,” said Avery.

“It sums up what that album was like for me at that time.”

“Brat Pack,” the single of Hello, Good Friend emblemizes this change for Avery.

“I didn’t expect that song to take off like it did. I wrote it when all my friends were getting out of college, when real life kicks in.”

Currently, Avery is focused on the release of his newest album, scheduled for July.

“The songs are much better in my opinion,” said Avery. “Lyrically, they tackle issues dealing with wanting to help the world.”

“What’s the point [of music] if it’s not going to help change things?” he continued.

Avery plans to tour for the album in July, making another stop in Denver.

Plans for a performance at the Gothic Theater are being discussed.

“Hopefully, lots of people will hear it and fall in love with it,” Avery said. “It’s like, optimistic and also really real.”

Constantly touring, Avery prefers life on the road, he says, and currently has no home address.

He has been playing since he turned 14, and he can’t imagine a life without music.

“I decided at a very young age that this was what I was going to do, so that now it’s normal, it’s my life.”

The Texas native has made multiple trips to Japan to perform, along with tours in Europe.

“I’m basically on tour forever,” said Avery. “I don’t like living anywhere. I am used to touring and working.

I can’t believe I get to play music in different towns. The fact that it’s happening is just weird.”
