Nikki Matteson & Rich Rue are a blues-infused songwriting duo based in Minneapolis, MN. Both play guitar and Nikki sings. They deliver searing slide guitar solos when digging into the Country blues, intimate melodic vocals that bring their dreamy thought-provoking originals to life, and groovy intertwining guitar work inspired by their 1960s love generation roots. An enjoyable experience all around, their latest album release is ‘Sugar in the Rock,’ an album serving up a dose of Blues rock . In the past, they went by the name, ‘Nikki & The RueMates.’
