[edit] Early life
He began performing shows as a teenager in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. As Avary's fan base grew, he released his first EP at the age of 16 in limited release during 2000. At first, he was to release the EP under his own name, when a close friend of his suggested the name "The Rocket Summer", since it was the name of a chapter of a story he was reading. After distributing the EP himself under the name "The Rocket Summer" to local stores to be sold on consignment, his music appeared on The Adventure Club segment of the KDGE radio station, and quickly became the most requested local band on the program that year.
[edit] The Rocket Summer
The Rocket Summer eventually became more popular, selling out concerts across the USA. Avary has so far released two critically and commercially successful albums titled, "Calendar Days" and "Hello, Good Friend". Currently he signed his band to a new record label to release his third album. However, it will not be recorded and released until after his next tour with The Rocket Summer.
