Heralded as one of “Austin’s rising stars” by Rolling Stone and “an Austin legend in the making” by Forbes, 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 and Melissa Etheridge and even performed with Alanis Morissette and Lainey Wilson at the 2023 CMT Awards and in 2024 Venson was selected to perform as part of Rolling Stone’s Future of Music showcase at SXSW.

Venson’s breakthrough album Joy received critical acclaim upon its release in 2019, and while the pandemic stood in the way of touring plans for the next year, Venson nonetheless found new levels of fame with her livestreaming presence throughout 2020, which led to her landing the #9 position on Pollstar’s Top 50 Livestreamers list for the year and a booking on the legendary Austin City Limits. 

In 2021 Venson collaborated with renowned producer Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, U2) on Love Transcends, a love letter to Texas blues rock in all its forms. Venson followed that up with Evolution of Joy, a reimagining of Joy that was created with help of producer Frenchie Smith (Toadies, Jet), and the duo teamed up again for 2023’s Ghost in the Machine, an electro funk, jazz-infused guitar pop album that updates 2020’s Vintage Machine. Venson’s next album, The Love Anthology, comes out in January 2025 to coincide with her third annual January residency at the iconic Austin venue Antone’s.

The Oxford dictionary says a knot is, “A fastening made by looping a piece of string, rope, or something similar on itself and tightening it” or is, “A tangled mass in something as hair or wool.” What a knot is, is not as important as the potential of what it can be, or what it started out as. Knots are shape shifters, they take something, make it in to something else and can be untangled and started again, they are not fixed but hold infinite possibility.The story of Knotts began with Adalia Boehne back in the angst filled greasy tween days, staring at the ceiling wanting desperately to drop out of high school and "do" music. Within those seasons of self musical discovery as well as spiritual discovery, Adalia continued to pursue songwriting. The best part about a knot is it can be untied or cut free, which is what Knott's music does, unties and cuts free.
