The Summer Set
Hear it Now
There's nothing like a great song -- especially one that puts a spring in your step. The Summer Set, a pop-rock band from Scottsdale, Arizona, knows how to capture the essence of a fun and carefree time -- like summer -- in their music. Maybe it's because this foursome grew up in diferent parts of the AZ and all that sunshine sunk into their tracks. Or, maybe they just really like to play. "My whole life is pretty fun, I live for fun, it hasn't gotten old yet, I hope it never does," said bassist Stephen Gomez in an email.
Whatever the reason for their warm and happy vibe, this band is perfect for a post homework pick-me-up or while you're working out. In fact, that's how guitarist Josh Montgomery prepares for a show, with "stretching and medicine ball training." And, it sounds like he'll be doing that a lot over the next year. According to band members, Brian Dales, Jessica Bowen, John Gomez, Stephen Gomez and Josh Montgomery, the Summer Set will tour the country throughout 2010 playing songs from their debut album.
"We just released our first record called Love Like This," said vocalist Brian Dales, "so we're gonna be on tour all of 2010 in support of that. It's gonna be an awesome year and we'll see what comes next. Come check us out when we're in your city!"

"The first time I ever thought about being in a band was in third grade. My best friend and I were listening to the band BBMak, and we decided that when we grew up, we were determined to start a band together and make it our careers. Obviously it didn't work out exactly that way, but since my dad and my older brother were drummers I was forced into drumming and got started that way."
