A
gig
held at Mr Wolfs
on Thursday 18th December. The event starts at 21:00.
Rue is a rising force in the UK music scene - a gifted songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist whose soulful voice and rhythmic guitar playing are laced with a rich jazz sensibility. Dubbed “a future star” by Dart Music Festival, she continues to captivate audiences with her unique sound and magnetic stage presence.
2024 saw Rue take a bold leap forward with the release of two compelling new singles, each paired with cinematic music videos that marked her on-screen debut. Both tracks received glowing support from BBC Introducing and landed spots on Spotify playlists including Jazz UK and Fresh Finds. Her latest single, On The Fence, earned a feature on BBC Radio 3’s Round Midnight with Soweto Kinch.
Taking inspiration from artists like Hiatus Kaiyote, Maddison Cunningham, Kimbra, and Jamiroquai, Rue has carved out her own space with headline performances at standout venues such as the Cheltenham Festival Jazz Arena, Bristol’s Gallimaufry, St Ives Jazz Club, and London’s Pizza Express Jazz Club. She’s also made her mark on the festival circuit, with appearances at The Great Escape, Boardmasters, and Leopallooza, cementing her reputation as one of the south-west’s most exciting live acts - whether solo or with her band.
This year, she opened for soul legend Gabrielle at the Sidmouth International Jazz & Blues Festival, and has shared the stage with acclaimed artists including afro-jazz collective Nubiyan Twist, Yakul, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, and Keane. With national radio and TV appearances, a collaboration with Sennheiser, and backing from Jazz FM, Rue is quickly emerging as one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary jazz and soul.
