Biography
Leaving behind the warm Alabama fall, Summerlin joined producer Ed Ackerson (Replacements, Golden Smog, Brian Setzer, Juliana Hatfield) in a cozy Minneapolis studio to record "All Done in Good Time."
Together, with grandiose Who-like execution, Summerlin and Ackerson triumphed in delivering a sincere album with songs to hook you into a sing along or embrace you in an epic tale.
After leaving the groundbreaking alt-country band, The Quinsonics and their loyal fanbase in the late 90's, Summerlin has steadily developed his own following across the country and worldwide. Helping to raise Summerlin's profile is Paste Magazine, who selected Summerlin's last record for the Paste recommends program. Summerlin's first two records have also been licensed for use by MTV and A&E programming.
Mixing business with pleasure, Summerlin is also the founder and owner of Superphonic Records which has quickly become one of the leading indie labels in the Southeast. In 2007 Summerlin will help see the release of several highly anticipated albums including those of AA Bondy (Verbena), Louis Schefano (Regia / Remo Zero) and John P. Strohm (The Lemonheads / Blake Babies).
