Jackie Venson
Young Jam from The Love Anthology
I’ve just been introduced to Jackie Venson by a chance aquantance on a restaurant terrace: if there ever was a female Prince, here she is! Born in 1990 in Austin, Texas, she graduated from Berklee College in 2011 and went on to become a notable singer-songwriter and guitarist, realizing has released five studio albums to date. “Steering away from familiar Southern blues-funk tropes,. Venson copped a bit of Prince’s sexy synch swagger, a welcome addition that kept the music sounding fresh. Another element she borrowed from Prince is a sense of casual virtuosity.” (Rolling Stone)
