The video was shot at Muddy’s Club in Weinheim, Germany. “I was on tour in Europe with my band and I wanted to shoot our video at one of our live shows with our fans! It was so fun! I love my band (Isaac Pulido on drums and EJ Bedford on bass). They are amazing musicians and great friends. I couldn’t ask for anything better than that.”

Texas blues/rock guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Ally Venable has made her fiery presence known

around the world since the release of her debut album No Glass Shoes in 2016. Now, with her fifth solo

effort Real Gone! about to drop on Ruf Records in March 2023, Venable feels she is coming of age and

maturing as a songwriter and performer.

The new record, produced by Grammy winner Tom Hambridge, features guest appearances by Joe

Bonamassa and living legend Buddy Guy. Songs like her duet with Guy “Texas Louisiana” and the title

track “Real Gone!” crackle and smoke with the electric presence of a star charting her own course. Ally’s

sound is fully contemporary, rooted in the bedrock of American music, and built on the kind of talent

that only presents itself every few generations. Her guitar work is wiry and ferocious and her vocals

sparkle and strut. She’s one of today’s top blues artists by any measure and her career is only picking

up speed.

This year, Ally will be opening for Buddy Guy on his farewell tour, rocking Europe again on the Blues

Caravan Tour, and doing her own headline shows domestically and abroad. She’s had a rapid rise to

fame but gives off the vibe of someone who loves her life and is ok with it all. “I started playing guitar

when I was 12 years old,” she said. “I’m 23 now, and I’ve been able to tour, see the world, and make

people happy with my music. Nothing can get better than that!”
