Rigby Summer (& the One Night Band)

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 longtime home in Stillwater, Oklahoma and the winds of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, where she’s toured extensively over the last five years and now makes her second home.  

The result is a powerful cosmic Americana sound that 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 in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and the ALL MUSIC STARTS LOCAL initiative, both of which have helped her carve a niche for herself in the Oklahoma scene and beyond. The result is a career built on collaboration and community, learning from and edifying her fellow artists along the way.

Her latest of such collaborations is Rigby Summer & The One Night Band, a collective of artists helping her write the next chapter in her artist story. They come together to perform in various forms in markets throughout the region, taking her honest and intimate lyrics and adding an element of joy and fun, ultimately creating a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts. 

 With the help of the One Night Band (led by music director and producer Eric Tate of /O Studio in Arvada, CO) her next album is currently in pre-production while her growing ALL MUSIC STARTS LOCAL team prepares to launch a podcast in 2025.  

When not on the road with her own music and ALL MUSIC STARTS LOCAL, Rigby is growing an artist collective and mentorship community called eversummer collective to foster creative and financial abundance among independent musicians and other artistic entrepreneurs.
