Venture

VENTURE is an alternative rock band from Texas. After graduating high school, founding member and lead singer, Blake Self received a personal letter from his favorite musician.

" Well I can clearly see that you've got what it takes to accomplish your dreams. In the end, it all comes down to the songs. No one in the world can deny a great one," said Mark Tremonti of CREED.

Formed in late 2004, VENTURE exploded onto the rock scene from obscurity. Their debut cd, THE PRISONER has received some incredible reviews and airplay world-wide. In 2007, VENTURE was hand picked to open for GODSMACK.

Their music has been featured and licensed to SPIKE TV, THE UFC, TAHOE FILMS, AND TV FACE. The guys also have an informal endorsement deal with DOCTRINE CLOTHING.
