Growing up in the small town of Lostwithiel, Cornwall, Rue made a name for herself by conquering the local gigging scene whilst simultaneously completing her degree in BA (Hons) Contemporary World Jazz. She has been making waves in music since her first EP release "Blinkers" in 2017, having pushed her sensational vocals, impressive fingerstyle guitar playing and beautifully nu-soul inspired songs all across the UK. Under her belt is an impressive number of major festival slots and stellar headline shows including Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Pizza Express Jazz Club in London, The Great Escape Festival in Brighton and more.
Rue brings a new and polished sound with her latest single 'Lucid', having developed through years of gigging both solo and with her band. Incorporating elements of jazz, rnb and nu-soul, Rue's guitar playing is influenced by likes of Tom Misch, Hiatus Kaiyote and Oscar Jerome. 'Lucid' received outstanding support from leading jazz station Jazz FM and was played across multiple shows. Rue’s ever-growing presence has gained her ongoing support from BBC Radio and other international radio stations. As a result, she’s made multiple live appearances on BBC Introducing & prime time BBC Spotlight TV. She has also supported major artists such as Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, Newton Faulkner and James Arthur.
Rue is an unsigned, independent artist currently based in Plymouth, Devon and is working towards releasing her debut album.
"Transfixed. Like a symbiosis with her voice and guitar, it’s irresistible when she begins." - Soul Stripped Sessions, London
"One of our most exciting BBC Introducing artists. Rue is a treasure." - BBC Introducing in Devon & Cornwall
Support from The Jones Project
Consisting of one member, Callum, who takes up all non-live aspects of the Project alone, The Jones Project was officially formed in the Summer of 2020.
After a brief demo recording in mid 2017, and a few years of travel absorbing pieces of all important inspiration, the Project was formed from a desire to express a personally sculpted and realised sound.
With influences ranging from Psychedelic Rock to Lounge Jazz, The Jones Project’s sound roots itself in a wide variety of genres. Hoping to induce a driving sense of tranquility to the audience upon hearing, whilst leaving lyrics and narrative open to interpretation.
Floating, ethereal guitar chords, wide, dream-like backing vocals, nostalgic synth melodies, thick, groove ridden baselines and tightly wound, punchy drums form coherent pieces of music that sit, perfectly partnered, with a San Francisco sunset.
Experience The Jones Project, take it down a gear, with smooth sounds that do the rounds, to soothe troubled ears.
