Jackie Venson (Stage 5)

Heralded as one of "Austin's rising stars" by Rolling Stone, Jackie Venson has established herself as one of the most commanding performers to come out of Texas. An Austin native, Venson has shared the stage with icons like Gary Clark Jr., Melissa Etheridge, and Alanis Morissette. From Texas blues-focused albums such as Love Transcends to the eclectic electro-funk and rock of Ghost in The Machine, Venson's artistry is only going to continue to grow.
