Ally Venable

Ally Venable is a guitarist and singer who puts a fresh spin on blues-rock traditions. Blessed with a powerful voice and a down-and-dirty guitar attack that blends Texas blues with no-frills rock & roll, she was just 14 when she cut her debut EP, Wise Man, which earned her a reputation as a rising star in the Lone Star State's blues community. While stronger rock influences would be heard on later albums, such as 2018's Puppet Show and 2019's Texas Honey, the blues remained Venable's bread and butter as her talent won her awards and a growing audience. She showed off a greater lyrical maturity and musical sophistication on 2021's Heart of Fire, worked with blues giants Buddy Guy and Joe Bonamassa on 2023's Real Gone, and offered both electric fire and soulful groove on 2025's Money and Power.
