The Real
Deal at Seventeen
The level of feeling that a seventeen year old
artist can bring to the stage can be simply amazing. As their
performance begins your mind isn't fully grasping what you
are seeing and hearing on stage. You notice a level of
established comfort that radiates from the young performer. The
mind can easily form an early opinion that it’s just another novelty
act because it rationalizes the question, "How could anyone be
deeply in tune with the blues at just seventeen?" Then as
the show progresses it happens, the age factor simply erodes, it goes
completely away. Obviously, it would be one thing for the
young performer to bust an axe with perfection at seventeen but it's
quite another when they already possess the stage presence of
the relaxed, older blues artist. It’s a very cool experience
to witness as it backs up the age old adage that the blues is
a feeling and of course that feeling can reside in anyone, at any
age. Overall, it is this set of combined abilities which are
possessed by both young and older artists alike that allows them
to present the blues in a mind blowing, magnificent way. Ally
Venable is a seventeen year old female blues rock artist who possesses
these abilities. She immediately transforms her audiences from
being in that initial curiosity phase into the "this is way
cool" phase. Festival talent buyers are
noticing Ally and she continues to perform at such notable
events as The T Bone Walker Blues Festival in Longview, Texas and the
Mud Bug Festival in Shreveport, Louisiana. Ally
Venable is a young blues rocker that is following the
original footsteps of her female contemporaries and may well be the
rising star on the horizon.
