Oklahoma-based Rigby Summer weaves an Americana soundscape that reflects the road she’s traveled, from her Kansas City jazz upbringing to the beach pop of her former home in southern California to the red dirt roots of her current home in Stillwater, Oklahoma. While her influences range from Mary Chapin Carpenter to The Frames, Sia Furler to Johnny Cash, her sound often draws comparisons to Brandi Carlile and Lucinda Williams—a little modern, a little old-fashioned, always earnest.

In 2017, after a five-year hiatus from performing music, she founded the Monday @ Modella songwriter pop-up and the ALL MUSIC STARTS LOCAL initiative and started sharpening her musical teeth, slowly carving a niche for herself in the Oklahoma scene. Since then, she has had the privilege of sharing the stage with and learning from a myriad of local and touring artists, including Chely Wright, Belle Plaine, Blake Berglund, Heather Styka and many more. She was also given honorable mention in the 2017 Woody Guthrie Festival Songwriting Contest and was a semi-finalist in the 2019 Wyoming Singer-Songwriter Contest, in which she was voted as the audience choice winner for her round. She has subsequently been invited back as a judge in both 2020 and 2021

Production is complete on her first full-length album Geography, recorded at Naptime Studio in Norman, Oklahoma, with Kyle Reid at the helm. The record will release to radio in September 2021 and on all streaming platforms in October 2021.
