Altpress has exclusively learned that the Rocket Summer’s Bryce Avary will be playing a string of tour dates on his own for a special, acoustic “sing along” evening with fans this fall. Avary, who displayed his abilities as a multi-instrumentalist on the 2008 AP Tour, will be armed with a piano, acoustic guitars and drums as he tells the stories behind songs, takes requests and interacts with fans at small venues. Avary also hopes to record the shows for a future live album.

Avary said, “I’ve never done anything like this before and I think it’s time to do something extra special for our core fans. I’m hoping each night has a rowdy, choir-like sing along vibe. The plan is to even record the shows with the hopes of putting out a live record of this special tour. I’m excited to tell stories, talk with fans, take requests and play some of the more obscure songs I’ve written, as well as the popular ones. I plan on playing a bunch of instruments and looping stuff as well. I’m going to make sure it’s an exciting show, and I’m purposely staking out smaller rooms than ever to keep it intimate. We’ve spent the whole year playing really big rooms with bigger bands, and it’s time do something intimate—just me and TRS fans. I really can’t wait for this.”

Support acts will be announced soon.
