Updated Double Page Spread Story 

Popular young Country Music singer Summer is finally bringing her hit tour over to the UK! Growing up in a little town, just south of Nashville, she was known as the small girl with the big voice. She started her career singing in the local cafe and at events, like the 4th of July celebrations held by the town. She was discovered during one of these events by popular music producer Greg Mitchell when he came to visit his sister and her family.

We managed to grab him for a few minuets and here's what happened!

Q. How do you think Summer's Careers going?

A. Better than I ever could have imagined! I knew she was talented I just wasn't sure how people would react to her. Mostly because of her age.

Q. How did you 'discover' Summer?

A. Well it was the forth of July and I was at my home town's annual festival and she preformed a country song she had written herself. She just oozed light, enthusiasm and confidence. And when she started singing you could see in her face she believed every word and her voice, as you know, is as good as any other country singer. 

Q. Yes she is very young, do you think this has hindered her in any way?

A. No she has taken to this life incredibly and I truly think it was her destiny!

After she was discovered she quickly became a firm favorite on charts nation wide. At the age of just 14 she is one of the youngest ever country music singers but for her fans she is just as good as artists 3 times her senior!

After finishing her first tour around America just 2 months ago she's ready to hit the stage in the UK! With performances in Manchester, Edinburgh and London already lined up this tour is sure to be a hit!

We were very grateful when Summer took some time out her busy schedule to come and talk to us so you could find out more about whats going on in her world!

Q. How are you enjoying the life of a Country Music Superstar?

A. Haha well its just so manic! But that's a given what with my second tour and a new single on the way!

Q. Yes the tour! Your fans here in the UK must be very excited.

A. Yeah they do seem to be which is great because so am I!

Q. Is there anything you can tell us about your tour that we don't already know?

A. Well there will be a couple of new songs and there's a little secret something else but for that you'll have to wait to see!

The Tour will be called 'If I Could Make A Living Out Of Loving You' which is also the title of her new single which will be released on the 19th of April this year!

Q. Can you give us a description of the song?

A. Its basically about whats happening in my life right now, its about how manic my life has gotten and the consequences that come with it.

Q. We've seen you write songs about your life before, why do you choose to write about reality and not the idealistic life that so many artists sing about?

A. Because to me music is what life sounds like and if you've experienced whats going on in the song then its easier to portray the emotions and the story line to the audience.Also I like to try and be as open as possible with my fans. They are after all one of the main reasons for my success!

For such a young girl Summer seems to have slipped right into the day to day workings of being a teenage superstar. However being thrown into an adult orientated world cannot have been easy.

Q. What do you miss most about life before your music career took off?

A. Being an ordinary girl. I don't get to just hang out with my friends as much as I used to. I don't go to school anymore and with all the travelling I'm not at home much. My family is with me a lot of the time but being a singer means leaving people behind. But most being able to do things that all my friends are doing or are going to do.

Q. Do you regret becoming a singer?

A. No and I never will because as much as I sometimes long for a normal teenage life my life is awesome! I have a job I love and so long as I make an effort friends and family will never be left behind!

Q. Never? not even a little bit? Do you not ever wonder 'what if I had waited' you could have had that ordinary life you miss. With your friends and family.

A. Never... to me music is what I was meant to do and the fact I got the chance so early in life is a blessing. There are times I will think 'what if' but everyone does so I suppose in some way that adds a little normality to my life!

Q. What Do you enjoy most about being a singer?

A. Being able to make an impact on people and their lives, however small it may be. And the travelling of course!!!!!

Q. Oh so you like travelling? Where would you like to go most? Or have you already visited your favorite place?

A. I don't think I have somewhere I want to go most and I've loved everywhere! Although at the moment I am really excited about my trip to the UK!

The tickets for the first part of the tour which will take place in Manchester will go on sale the morning of the 13th of June. I know all of us here at Rodeo will be eagerly awaiting their release and I can see the tour selling out in record time!
