Summer is an American singer-songwriter who plays guitar and piano. She is also a visual artist who completes series of poster-size pastel paintings.
Her first demo, entitled Summer, was recorded in Tampa, FL and released in summer 2002 and showcased four original songs and a folk-rock style. She followed this up with a second four-song EP, recorded in Los Angeles in February 2005.
In 2003, Summer acquired the trademark to the name, “Summer” in the classes of live musical performance and prerecorded cd's. As a result, she is legally able to perform under the sole name “Summer.”
Summer attended the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago in the winter of 2006. Summer began studying piano at this time. It was in Chicago that she penned some of her best known songs, including “Have to Leave" and “Not a Love Song." In Chicago, she also began painting and revived a style and subject matter that she had begun in 2001 when she was grieving from her boyfriend’s suicide. The pastel-on-paper paintings are poster-size, colorful, abstract renderings of female faces in various states of emotion.
Previously, on a tour with Tampa-based performer, Jeremy Gloff in December 2004, Summer had a chance meeting with a young Philadelphia-based businessman named Bill Bauman at a performance in Portland, OR. The two kept in touch and upon hearing the musical and artistic growth she had undergone during her time in Chicago, he signed her as the founding artist to a record label he was starting, called LossLess Records.
