One of the most formidable guitarists of her generation, Samantha Fish deals in her own unmatched brand of bravado, bringing both mind-blowing power and extraordinary emotionality to everything she creates. Since first introducing the world to her larger-than-life talent, the multi-award-winning festival headliner has built a triumphant career whose latest milestones include earning a Grammy nomination for Death Wish Blues (her 2023 collaboration with rocker Jesse Dayton) and opening for The Rolling Stones on their final 2024 U.S. tour date. On her new album Paper Doll, Fish offers up nine powerhouse songs that hit with an unstoppable force, each delivered with an exquisite dose of illuminating insight, soul-soothing empathy, and—above all—newly heightened clarity of vision. “It’s taken me years to finally find my voice in a studio setting,” Fish admits. “But with this record I took everything I had, and slammed it right on the table.”
“If you’ve not seen Samantha Fish play live then you’ve missed one of the best shows you’ll see. There’s an energy and a presence that’s hard to match, and a reverence and excitement you can feel.”
“As someone who has followed Samantha’s career from the off hearing Paper Doll I was astounded. Not only is it a great Blues album it’s a great Rock album too and it touches all points in-between. There’s songs here that that will move you, songs that will have you standing mouth open in awe, but every single one of them will move you. Mark Diggins – The Rockpit”
After that of course we had to talk, and dig deep into an album that I’m certain will break big. We talk about the songs, the process, touring in 2025 and a whole lot more…
