Rue Joins Indie Tea Talk! Soulful Storytelling & Fingerstyle Brilliance

Welcome to another episode of the Indie Tea Talk Podcast! This time, we’re joined by Rue, an artist whose voice and guitar playing blend jazz, soul, funk, and folk into something deeply personal and quietly powerful.

Rue has been steadily building a reputation as one of the UK’s most compelling live performers, earning support from BBC Introducing, festival appearances at The Great Escape and Boardmasters, and opening for Gabrielle at Sidmouth International Jazz & Blues Festival. Her songs explore heartbreak, healing, family loss, and lived experience, delivered through a distinctive fingerstyle guitar technique shaped by early classical training.

In this episode, Rue joins us in the studio to talk about her musical roots, the importance of honesty in songwriting, and how those early gigs across the South West helped shape her as an artist. We also dive into her latest single On The Fence, which has received BBC Radio airplay and playlist support including Spotify’s Fresh Finds.
