Blues/R&B artist Jackie Venson is coming to Charlotte on 9/5 as part of her 2014 Summer/Fall tour to promote her recently released debut album, The Light in Me. Selected to perform at the Belk Southern Musician Showcase from a pool of 2,000 musicians, Jackie will take the stage in support of artists Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw, and James Taylor. The Austin Statesmen calls her “a Gary Clark Jr.-level talent who speaks boldly through her guitar while entrancing with her gorgeous, smoky voice.” For more information: www.jackievenson.com.
