Jackie Venson grew up in Dallas and started playing guitar when she was twelve. She studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston before returning to Austin. Her self-titled debut album came out in 2014, followed by records like "Transcends" in 2016 and "Joy" in 2019.
She plays with a band that includes Scott Nelson on drums and Nick Connolly on bass. Songs like "See What You Want" and "Rollin' On" show her approach, which pulls from soul and blues without settling into one category. Her 2022 album was called "Evolution."
Venson has worked with other musicians including Gary Clark Jr. She performs regularly in Austin and elsewhere, usually with her band backing her up.
