Samantha Fish
Since then, the charismatic young singer-guitarist-songwriter has earned a reputation as a rising guitar hero and powerful live performer, while releasing a series of acclaimed albums that have shown her restless creative spirit consistently taking her in new and exciting musical directions.
The New York Times called Fish “an impressive blues guitarist who sings with sweet power” and “one of the genre’s most promising young talents.”
As far as Samantha Fish is concerned, her musical future is an open road. “I’m never gonna be a traditional blues artist, because that’s not who I am,” she asserts. “But it’s all the blues for me. When Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf came out, what they were doing didn’t sound like anything that had been done in blues before. You’ve gotta keep that kind of fire and spirit. I’m never gonna do Muddy Waters better than Muddy Waters, so I have to be who I am and find my best voice”.
For Fish, one of the greatest joys of making music is the powerful exchange of energy at her incendiary live shows. “I fell in love with music from going to shows, and I know how cathartic it can be. It heals your heart,” she says. “Anytime I play live, I just want to want to make people forget about everything else in the world and feel that same joy that I feel on stage.”
Her current album “Faster” is the follow-up to the acclaimed “Kill Or Be Kind” in 2019, and marked Fish’s first collaboration with producer Martin Kierszenbaum (Lady Gaga, Sting), who co-wrote eight of the album’s 12 new songs and helped Fisher to refine her sound and strike out into bold new sonic territory. With Fish accompanied by legendary drummer Josh Freeze (A Perfect Circle, Sting, Guns N’ Roses, Nine Inch Nails) & bassist Diego Navaira (The Last Bandoleros) the result is a singular body of work both irresistibly galvanizing and emotionally raw.
Samantha Fish will perform songs from her latest album “Faster”, which includes the singles “Twisted Ambition”, “All Ice, No Whiskey”, “Better Be Lonely” & “Faster”. From her extensive repertoire we’ll also be able to enjoy hits such as“Bulletproof” from the album “Kill Or Be Kind”.
