Summer Winter's Third Album

If you know me for my music, call me Summer Winter. If you know me from my day job, call me Summer Rudas. If we're close, you can opt for a nickname like Summy, Spice Cakes, or we can go first and middle name basis–Summer Sky. I go by a lot of names and hustle in different areas of life. Some call it lack of focus, I call it a chronic case of curiosity. There seems to be a common denominator in all of my pursuits–want to guess what it is?

If you've read this far, thank you. The eventual "call to action" is a monetary contribution to the production of my third record as Summer Winter. However, Summer Rudas knows that when you ask for money, you've got to make a case. Here's my case:

It's been 4 years since I've recorded music and 3 since I've released anything. I'm sure a lot has changed in you since then. Remember when we went through a pandemic? Walking through life has presented colors of grief, love, joy, and wonder I didn't even know existed. I've completely changed as a person, an artist, a friend–every version of Summer. I hope you have too.

This next record (the one I'm asking for money to finish) is a sonic picture of these changes. New colors of my musical expression and curiosity exist in these songs. You'll hear intimate moments inspired by my first self-produced acoustic record Party of One, jazzy ear worms inspired by my bossa single Quarantine Delight, waterfalls of vocal harmony just like my a cappella work, and big surprises courtesy of a full band! I'm so excited to share this record with you.

The collective funds raised from this page will go towards:

If you're still guessing the "common denominator in all my pursuits"–it's commitment. With these funds, I am committed to respectful stewardship. To see this project through to the finish line and share it with you.

Thank you for the support in any way you're able to show it. Aloha.
