Anyone who has ever seen Nikki Hill sing her heart and soul out can confirm it — this woman is a thunderclap. Pure energy!

Hill and her band (which she calls ‘The Pirate Crew’) are climbing step by step to the top of the roots music scene, leaving a trail of enthusiastic fans in their wake. With their unfiltered energy, they take in every strain of American roots music and deliver a sound that makes you believe in rock ’n’ roll again! Nikki’s rough, earthy voice, her Stax-soul dynamism, the driving rhythm guitar of husband Matt Hill, and a tight rhythm section fuse into one and create a sound that couldn’t be more authentic.

Nikki, who comes from Durham, North Carolina, has kept her Deep South soul in an honest way. Her first musical roots were planted as a child, when she sang in the church gospel choirs. After Nikki got together with her husband and guitarist Matt Hill, they formed an unstoppable team and have since established themselves as true missionaries of roots rock and roll!
