Summer Osborne is an award winning American singer-songwriter who entertains audiences throughout the US and Canada with her magical brand of melodic and lyrically potent genre-jumping performances.
You could describe her as the love child of Adele, Carole King, and Joss Stone. You could describe her music as folk soul, acoustic rock, and piano pop with glimpses of jazz, blues, and roots music. But you cannot confine her to a genre. You will laugh, you will cry, you will feel. Come join the adventure to feel better!! It is the evolution of the soul – one song at a time.
Summer’s eighth album, As I Am, was released in June of 2013 to rave reviews and has been hailed as her best yet. Many fans are adopting it as the “sound track to my life.”
Summer Osborne first graced the stage at the tender age of four, but has been performing her original tunes for fans since 2005. During that time, lyrics and melodies have been continuously flowing through her, resulting in eight albums. When listening to her entire catalog, one can certainly see her evolution as a songwriter. “Be Still,” from The Scenic Route (2012) earned a 2012 RightOutTV Music and Video award. Osborne and her manager / wife, Lori, are currently on tour promoting As I Am. When they are not busy being road warriors, they can be found on their family farm in Vandalia, IL.
Since deciding to focus on her musical career (performing and writing) full time in 2009, Summer has remained on tour, doing shows at venues and festivals far and wide. Summer played at National Women’s Music Festival in 2012, and SXSW in 2012 and 2013. She has played music at Pridefests all over the Mid-West US & Canada, including: Pridefest St. Louis (2005-2013); Vancouver Pride – British Columbia, Canada (2011); Mid-MO Pride – Columbia, MO (2011-2013); Halifax Pride – Nova Scotia, Canada (2010); Mid-South Pride – Memphis, TN (2005 and 2010-2012); Springfield Pride – Springfield, MO (2009 and 2013); Kentuckiana Pride – Lexington, KY (2009); Metro East Pride – Belleville, IL (2008 and 2011-2013). Osborne has shared the stage with Holly Near, The Indigo Girls, Tret Fure, Melissa Ferrick, Melanie DeMore, Suzanne Westenhoefer, God-Des and She, Alix Olson, Andrea Gibson, Julie Goldman, Dana Goldberg, Big Bad Gina, Patrice Pike, The Dollyrots, Jen Foster, Sugarbeach, The Cliks, Crystal Waters, Martha Wash, RJ Helton, Jennifer Holliday, and Kimberley Locke.t
