A Kilgore, Texas native, ALLY VENABLE began singing at church at four and picked up the guitar at age 12. By the age of 13, she started her own band and through her early influence of Stevie Ray Vaughan captured the passion and yearning for the blues music genre. Her early album releases No Glass Shoes (2016) and Puppet Show (2018) started her fanbase, but it was 2019’s album Texas Honey which hit #2 Billboard Blues Chart, as well as the rocking sets on Ruf’s European Blues Caravan tour, that propelled her internationally.
In 2021, Venable released another Billboard Blues charting album, Heart of Fire, 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 to the SiriusXM Bluesville 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. Together with Isaac Pulido (Drums) and EJ Bedford (Bass), Ally gives audiences an entertaining high-energy show packed with musical muscle and relatable songs.
Ally Venable has toured with her own band both domestically and in Europe. She has supported Buddy Guy and Kenny Wayne Shepherd throughout the United States, as well as Colin James in Canada. She has also performed as a featured artist on the Experience Hendrix Show in Austin, Texas, appearing alongside Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Zack Wilde, Eric Johnson, Dweezil Zappa, and other luminaries.
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 the ropes swinging, dazzling crowds on tour or throughout the festival circuit!
