Ally Venable is a new force to be reckoned with in the world of Blues Rock, and last night's show at the New Morning, co-headlining the last date of Ruf Records 30th Anniversary tour with Bernard Allison, solidified her status as the genre's rising star. While she is still only in her early twenties, Venable commands the stage with a seasoned prowess that belies her age. Her electrifying performance had audience dancing and singing, showcasing her exceptional talent as a singer, guitarist and entertainer.
Having collaborated with legends like Buddy Guy and Joe Bonamassa, Venable's pedigree speaks for itself. Her latest album, Real Gone, is a testament to her artistry and has rightfully earned its place as one of the standout releases of 2023 in the blues genre.
While Venable's influences are evident, particularly the unmistakable echoes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, she brings a fresh energy and authenticity to her music that is entirely her own. Her performance was a masterclass in raw emotion and virtuosity, leaving the crowd wanting more. Ally Venable is undoubtedly destined for greatness, and having the privilege of catching her first show in the City of Lights was one of those things that people in attendance will be bragging about years from now.
