The WDVX Blue Plate Special — 5/14 — Rigby Summer
May 14 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
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 and is now making her second home.
The result is an eclectic 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.
Rigby Summer and the One Night Band marks a new chapter in the creative evolution of Americana artist Rigby Summer—a shift from her solo roots to a full-band sound that fuses modern folk-rock energy with the heart of her songwriting. With guitarist, producer, and music director Eric Tate at the helm, The One Night Band brings a new dynamic to her songs, transforming them into something both intimate and electrifying. The result is a sound that’s modern yet timeless—a reflection of community, collaboration, and the courage to evolve.
