Born on April 7, 1999, in Kilgore, Texas, Ally Venable is an acclaimed blues-rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter celebrated for her fiery fretwork and commanding stage presence.

Recognized by Guitar World as one of the standout players making the Gibson Les Paul central to a new generation, she has shared studio tracks and stages with blues giants such as Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Joe Bonamassa, and Christone "Kingfish" Ingram.
