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 2013 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 Puppet Show (2018) and Heart of Fire (2021), the blues remained Venable's bread and butter as her talent won her awards and a growing audience.
