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. 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 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, Craig Campbell, Mary Bragg, Belle Plaine, Blake Berglund, Shandee Layne and many others.

Her debut full-length album “Geography," recorded at Naptime Studio in Norman, Oklahoma, with Kyle Reid at the helm, was released in October 2021
