Obsessed with music from an early age, singer/songwriter Jackie Venson immersed herself in its study, attending the Berklee College of Music to practice classical piano. However, it wasn’t until she switched to the electric guitar, that her long-simmering passion for emotive live performance was realized.

Abandoning the straight-laced world of classical for the raw power of blues and soul, Jackie has since been tirelessly honing her skills into an intoxicating amalgam of blues, rock, R&B, and soul with deeply heartfelt lyrics. Her new album Vintage Machine is set for release this fall and showcases her passion for integrating new musical technology, authentic sounds and intricate arrangements. You can see Jackie on the cover of the summer issue of Guitar Girl magazine.
