Few musicians know the peaks and perils of modern music marketing as well as Jackie Venson. Prior to the pandemic, Venson had racked up opportunities that most musicians would kill for- appearances on network tv spots like The Late Show, high profile tours with artists like Gary Clark Jr, highly coveted gigs at festivals like ACL, and on and on. But it was the crash of the pandemic that arguably led to Venson’s biggest attention as the singer-guitarist’s constant live streaming efforts rocketed her to viral “fame” and top 10 placement on PollStar’s Top Livestreamers list, ahead of big names as diverse as Brad Paisley, Norah Jones, and Ben Gibbard of Deathcab for Cutie. And now her new album Ghost in the Machine is tackling the chaos and confusion of the music industry head on with one simple message: almost everything artists have been told they have to do to “make it” is no longer true and the industry as we know it is dead, but doesn’t realize it yet, and it’s up to us to release the ghost of creativity lingering inside the machine.
“As modern artists dealing with audiences that are increasingly widespread and distracted, there’s no reason why anything we release has to stay frozen in amber while we move on to newer projects,” Venson says, “I mean, most of my current audience just discovered me in the past couple of years, and I realized so much of my older music is new to them, so why shouldn’t I redo it to make it sound more like who I am now?” That central question fits the theme of the album as well, as Venson explores the battle between staying true to tradition and embracing new ideas and techniques that so many musicians operating in genres, such as the blues, face every single day.
From Jackie Venson’s standpoint, the music industry as we have known it is a corpse held together by evil machinery and it’s only by relearning how to directly connect with one another that we can free the ghost of art

I just found out that there is severe frost in the central US and 20 people have already frozen to death. Yes, this happened to us, but no one died. Getting ready for winter and cold weather. We are saved by warm clothes and heating of houses.
