If you want to listen to a musician that is bery innovative… then look no further. Bryce Avary is Rocket Summer. Check this out:

Aside from the fact that Bryce Avary’s talent as a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and live show performer is phenomenal; aside from the fact that after touring the US, Canada, Japan, and Europe relentlessly, making several quality records, all while writing everything, singing, and performing all instruments on each album, Bryce has proven himself to be one of the hardest working artists in music for years now.

That’s right, this guy does it all. His first album “Calendar Days” was awesome and he just recently came out with his second album, “Hello, Good Friend.” I have spent many countless hours sitting around listening to this guy while drinking a few beers. So check it out.

Rockapella is a group of five guys that take popular songs and sing them all acapella. They use their voices to imitate all the instruments on the original tracks. I happen to listen to this music a lot. The Rockapella group and their music has become so popular that they have pretty much made their own genre of music, rockapella. Many groups have imitated the Rockapella group, especially in college choirs.

Often imitated; never duplicated, this certifiably unique pop musical group has taken the previously stodgy music genre of a cappella and brought it full-force into the 21st century.

I first started listening to Michael Buble when I first heard his rendition Frank Sinatra’s “Fly me to the moon.” I have always been a big fan of Frank Sinatra and I was amazed to hear this guy sound so much like him. Now, I would have to say that Frank’s version is better, but Buble did a good job on the cover. My roommate actually went to a Buble concert in the city last month and he loved it. He said the guy sounded awesome in concert and he was really funny. Buble voice is very calm and mellow. He has become of fan of many people all over the nation.

Here’s a link I think you would be interested in. Recently Rolling Stone had a Q&A with Panic! At The Disco’s Ryan Ross. Panic! At The Disco has been an up and coming band here in the states. According to Rolling Stone:

Their debut, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, drops electronic drums, barrelhouse piano and synth stabs amid speedy, stutter-stepping grooves and the sweet-and-sour vocals of emo pinup Brendon Urie, 18, which touch on girls, religion and being “a wet dream for the Webzines.” (more this article here)
