Rules are made to be broken. Expectations are there to be defied. Glass ceilings exist to be shattered. Ally Venable, who has spent the past decade carving out her own distinctive place in the male-dominated world of blues rock, calls for more of all of this on her defiant sixth album Money & Power ? for herself, for women everywhere, and for anyone who has ever been made to feel unworthy of a seat at the table. ?Money & Power is a powerful statement, especially for women,? says the award-winning Texas guitar slinger about her new album, recorded in Nashville and featuring guest appearances by Shemekia Copeland and Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram. ?Every song on this album is about what it truly means to be a force to be reckoned with. I want this record to wake people up.? Money and power may rule the world ? but in the right hands, music can be just as powerful. Arriving hot on the heels of 2023's widely acclaimed Real Gone ? an album that hit No. 1 on the Billboard Blues Charts

Blues-rock powerhouse Dana Fuchs announces the release of her new live album, LIVE IN DENMARK, recorded in a single, unforgettable night at Godset in Kolding, Denmark, in October 2025.

No safety net, no second chances,

No barriers. No boundaries. That's always been Ghalia Volt's approach to American roots music. It's a sound that reaches far beyond America itself. Ghalia grew up listening to the flamenco songs and traditional Spanish music that her grandparents loved. Her tastes expanded from there, making room for the fierce, guitar-driven sounds of punk, garage rock, and psychobilly. Digging into the roots of rock & roll, she discovered blues artists like Skip James and J.B Lenoir, setting the stage for an acclaimed songwriting career that would soon take her around the world ? and up the Billboard Blues Chart. Burn the House Down, Ghalia's sixth album, makes room for it all. Recorded in Nashville with producer JD Simo, these 11 songs showcase the full range of her influences. There's the swaggering John Lee Hooker's style shuffle of Lucifer's Grip. The juke joint grooves of Let Yo' Hair Down. The Hill Country blues of Where Do We Go. The late-night rock & roll o
