Ally Venable Band
Real Texas Blues Rock!
Description
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 or 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 rocking sets on Ruf’s
European Blues Caravan tour that propelled her internationally. “Ally is the future of blues and the
crossover music of American roots-rock.” - Mike Zito. In what silenced many
musicians during the pandemic, Venable now in her 20’s, released another Blues
Billboard charting album, Heart of Fire
(2021), which challenged her to write not only about love but the unguarded
honesty of feeling pain.”On this album,I
really wanted to create a tone of overcoming your struggles and persevering
through them,” she explains. Mentor and featured artist on this album,
Kenny Wayne Shepherd, lends his guitar skills on XM Bluesville’s charted song,
“Bring on the Pain.” In 2022, Guitar
World Magazine named Ally #2 on the top 15
Young Guns Making the Gibson Les
Paul Cool Again, and she received the Road
Warrior award from the Independent Blues Music Awards. Along with Ally’s own tour domestically and
in Europe, her band has supported Buddy Guy and Kenny Wayne Shepherd throughout
the US, as well as Colin James in Canada. She has performed as a featured
artist on the Experience Hendrix Show at the ACL Live at Moody Theater in
Austin, Texas. Fans are anticipating Venable’s upcoming spring 2023 release
produced by Grammy award winning producer, Tom Hambridge, which includes a duet
with the iconic Buddy Guy and a song featuring powerhouse guitarists Joe
Bonamassa.
