She’s a machine…you’ve got no excuse if you miss seeing her… Nikki Hill is a revelation, her band masters of rocket-fueled bluesy swing, her voice the beacon which calls you home… a vocal powerhouse who don’t mess around.” — Rolling Stone“Hill is the real deal…steeped in gospel and soul, wrapped up in a punk rock DIY ethic” — Time Out LA“A fiery performer, channeling some of rock & roll’s most heralded voices, revamping the squalls, screams and shouting-at-the-devil of rock’s pentecostal roots to a blazing new take that she can rightfully call her own, a soul that owes as much to AC/DC as Aretha.” — Okayplayer“…Hill’s got too much passion to tidy things up, but she knows exactly what she’s doing.” —SPIN“If Tina Turner and Little Richard had a daughter and raised her with the help of uncles James Brown and Chuck Berry, she’d be like Nikki Hill.” — Minneapolis Star-Tribune“When you have a powerful Southern soul singer with a penchant for AC/DC, you know you’re going to get something badass…A talent not to be ignored. Hell, she packs so much power, she’ll never let you.” — PopMatters“A powerhouse singer and killer live performer, delivers her brand of soul-rock ‘n’ roll with expressive verve and, with the new songs, great variety and style.” — Lincoln Journal Star“Impassioned…fiery soul and R&B with some rock and roll swagger thrown in for good measure.” — AllMusicNikki Hill is sweet seduction, sweeter threat, and smoldering energy. An original force in American music, she is tender and tough, flamboyant, witty and dangerous. To put it plainly, Hill brings daggers back to the stage and studio. Overlapping soulful, sensual and bold vocal tones with powerful chrome-plated riffs and swagger, her voice finds a home in it – a soul singing, bar rocking, roots revivalist, that writes with frank self-reflection at a dancing tempo.Hailing from Durham, North Carolina, Nikki Hill enjoyed R&B, soul, pop and hip hop at home. In addition, she sang gospel in the church choir from childhood through her early teenage years. Gradually, she developed her ears for garage rock, rock n’ roll, blues and roots, while also picking up influence from living along the legendary Mississippi River – in St. Louis, Missouri, New Orleans, Louisiana, and currently Memphis, Tennessee. In Nikki’s mind, a fertile mix of all the different types of music she had heard arose, and gradually these merged into something quite special, as she found her own voice, which the world was gradually introduced to on her many constant tours, where she took more and more audiences by storm with her distinctive vocals and energetic stage performance.After self-releasing and producing her debut album, Here’s Nikki Hill, her musical contributions continued, with her song “Struttin’” released on Deke Dickerson and The Bo-Keys Soul Meets Country EP, produced by Scott Bomar in Memphis, TN. The momentum continued through the release of her second album, Heavy Hearts Hard Fists, recorded at Fort Horton Studios in Wyldwood, TX. The acclaimed album was accompanied by a worldwide tour in the US, Europe, Australia, India and Morocco, and over 30 festivals, including Montreux Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, and ByronBay Blues Festival, receiving praise for uplifting the new songs with an erupting live performance.“Think Tina Turner fronting AC/DC and you’ll have half of the picture. She’s a machine…you’ve got no excuse if you miss seeing her… Nikki Hill is a revelation, her band masters of rocket-fueled bluesy swing, her voice the beacon which calls you home… a vocal powerhouse who don’t mess around.”(Rolling Stone). Hill’s current touring band is Matt Hill (guitar), Laura Chavez (guitar), Nick Gaitan (bass), and Marty Dodson (drums). On Nikki Hill’s third self-produced and self-released album, Feline Roots, she lets her soul rip. Nikki and her band take a muscular groove — celebrating and wailing over love, transgressions, the hard times, and wild freedom — and inject it with timeless effect, giving Nikki a foundation on which to build.It’s her version of rock n’ roll that can only come from her stories. Nikki Hill has never been afraid to take the road less traveled, and it’s clear with “Feline Roots” that she’s living every word.AgendaDoors open one hour before show starts - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/columbia/nikki-hill/100001982518839216 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals, performances, jazz, live-music, dance - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 23.38, max: 23.38, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Columbia - **state**: MD - **country**: United States - **location**: The Collective - Encore - **lat**: 39.2155315 - **long**: -76.8560866 - **full address**: The Collective - Encore, 10221 Wincopin Circle, Columbia, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Nikki Hill - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/4d53bfd3df0d90ff440cf4ff71757d024e30cd60860c5370cba2638bde7e1ea9-rimg-w1200-h800-dcf0f0f0-gmir.jpg?v=1770695237 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Nikki Hill being held? - **A:** Nikki Hill takes place on Sun, 05 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sun, 05 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 pm at The Collective - Encore, 10221 Wincopin Circle, Columbia, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Nikki Hill? - **A:** Nikki Hill is organized by The Collective. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
