LISTEN TO ALLY VENABLE

Texas blues-rock singer/songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire, Ally Venable entertains wherever she goes. With her signature glitter dresses and black knee-high boots, Venable comes off of the ropes swinging dazzling crowds on tour and throughout the festival circuit. “Venable pulls off a stunner of gritty and/or sultry blues rock tunes embellished with lots of tasty guitar solos.” – Guitar Player Magazine.

A Kilgore, Texas native, Ally began singing at church at four and picked up the guitar at age 12. By 13, she started her own band and through her early influence of Stevie Ray Vaughan captured the passion and yearning for more in the blues genre. Early releases No Glass Shoes (2016) and Puppet Show (2018) started her fanbase, charting radio play and several East Texas Music Awards. It was 2019’s #2 Billboard Blues charting Texas Honey and sets on Ruf’s European Blues Caravan tour that propelled her internationally.

In her 20’s, Venable released another Blues Billboard charting album, Heart of Fire (2021), which challenged her to write about love and the unguarded honesty of feeling pain, creating a tone of overcoming struggles and persevering. Mentor Kenny Wayne Shepherd lends his guitar skills on “Bring on the Pain.”
