CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Hal Horowitz Recommends: Practically a one-woman band, all soul singer and jazz guitarist Venson needs is a drummer and some sophisticated multi-tracking loops to sound like a full group. Her prog/funk songs are quirky, cool, and unique — but when she lays into a guitar solo with her eyes skyward, she shifts into another musical dimension. Venson will likely feature music from her new album, Evolution of Joy, and its 19 tracks. — HH

Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Jackie has traveled the world playing to massive crowds both as a headliner and as support for major acts such as Gary Clark Jr, Melissa Etheridge, Aloe Blacc, Citizen Cope to name a few. With the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, the cancellation of her entire tour schedule and the wave of social change sweeping across the country in 2020, Jackie committed herself to releasing more music than ever before, connecting with her fans directly and speaking up about the change she wanted to see in her city and country. Since then, Jackie has released 2 studio albums, 2 live albums under her name and several electronic albums under her side project titled jackie the robot. During the pandemic, Jackie Venson also made her National TV Performance Debut on Austin City Limits 46th season, a huge honor for the native Austinite. Venson’s most recent release, “Love Transcends”?, Venson firmly established herself as a sonic force to be reckoned with out of Austin, Texas.
