MORE Indie Invaders / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

The band Boyce Avenue from Sarasota just dropped a cover of Gene Wilder’s “Pure Imagination” on December 15, 2023. You know, the song from Willy Wonka? Yep, that one. The original is from the ’71 film “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.” Gene Wilder sang it, and it was written in just one day by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse, who did it over the phone.

Boyce Avenue did their version, and they even made a music video for it. You can catch the video debut on December 17, 2023. It’s a cool take on a classic!

Boyce Avenue, was founded by Alejandro Luis Manzano and his brothers Daniel Enrique Manzano and Fabian Rafael Manzano. The band’s name is a nod to the streets they grew up on.

Known for their acoustic roots and melodic rock vibe, Boyce Avenue shares both original tracks and covers of popular songs on YouTube. They’ve collaborated with various YouTube artists and even joined forces with talents from “The X Factor.”

Taking their music worldwide, Boyce Avenue frequently tours across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the European Union, Australia, and Southeast Asia. In April 2016, they dropped their third studio album, “Road Less Traveled,” reaching #15 on the U.S. Heatseekers chart. The album was released under their independent label, 3 Peace Records.
