All about Summer…
Summer is a prime example of a person who works to make her dreams come true. She has been pursuing a career in music since the tender age of 5, when she was cast as the youngest child, Gretel, in a stage production of The Sound of Music. After that came piano lessons, and after piano came guitar. Summer always knew she loved to sing, but somewhere along the way, she realized she also had a passion for writing songs.

She began to perform her songs publicly, starting small at open-mic nights around her hometown of Colorado Springs, and quickly building to headlining gigs. It wasn't long before people began to take notice. Since the age of 14, Summer has performed over 250 professional shows, been featured in several different newspapers, and on various Colorado radio and TV shows. She has won numerous awards for singing as well as songwriting.

Summer recently made the move to Nashville, as many do, to try and further her music career. She has captured the hearts of many throughout her years of performing, but she’s only just getting started! She shows wisdom beyond her years, in her personality and her music, that seems to connect to people of all ages. Whether she performs in front of 2 or 2000 people, for 30 minutes or 3 hours...whether she performs with a band or if she goes solo with her guitar, she makes each stage she performs on her own, and puts her heart into every lyric she sings. She has a heck of a good time doing it, too!
