Joy

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, Venson has since been tirelessly honing her skills into an intoxicating amalgam of Blues, Rock, R&B and Soul with deeply heartfelt lyrics. Here, Jackie brings us Joy. In her own words, Joy is my stance, my flag in the ground, because despite so much darkness there always is a light on somewhere and I choose to focus on that. This album is about my experiences and how I came out of them and my light still on.
