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.

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.

In 2021, Venable now in her 20s, 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. 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. 

Having spent the past decade carving out her own unique space in the male-dominated world of blues-rock, Venable's combative sixth album, Money & Power, demands more of both—for herself, for women around the world, and for anyone else who thought they weren’t worthy of a seat at the table.

​"Money & Power is such a strong statement, especially for women," says Venable of her Nashville-recorded new release, on which her crack-squad band is joined by A-list guests Shemekia Copeland and Christone "Kingfish" Ingram. "All the songs on this album showcase the theme of what it truly means to be a force to be reckoned with. I want this record to wake people up."

As a precious stone, turquoise is used in the art of jewelry creation of their people. Turquoise Steel uses the color to draw inspiration and creativity in their music. Like steel, which is incredibly tenacious in strength and cohesion, they assimilate their bond through music. Most importantly, they are family. They fuse the styles of Rock and Blues in the expression of their own music. Music is life to them. Life is music. They make no distinction.
