No Upcoming Concerts
We're sorry, but we couldnât find any upcoming concerts for Samantha Fish. Please check back soon.
Samantha and Jesse will perform songs from their new album âDeath Wish Bluesâ including the radio hit single âDeathwish.â In addition, Samantha will perform songs from her 2021 album âFaster.â The album includes the singles âTwisted Ambitionâ, âAll Ice, No Whiskeyâ, âBetter Be Lonelyâ and âFasterâ. Samantha will also perform songs from her extensive back catalogue including the radio smash single âBulletproofâ from her 2019 breakthrough album, âKill Or Be Kind.â
After launching her recording career in 2009, Samantha established herself as a rising star in the contemporary blues world. The charismatic 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 pushing her in new, exciting, and often unexpected 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." Her hometown paper, the Kansas City Star wrote: âSamantha Fish has kicked down the door of the patriarchal blues club and displays more imagination and creativity than some blues veterans exhibit over the course of their careers."
Samantha believes her musical future is an open road. "I'm never going be a traditional blues artist, because that's not who I am," she says. "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 got to keep that kind of fire and spirit. I'm never going to do Muddy Waters better than Muddy Waters, so I try to be who I am, and in doing that, I find my best voice.â
Equally steeped in Texas/Louisiana blues, old-school country and punk-rock, guitarist Jesse Dayton has long been a well-kept secret of the music world, a road warrior touring alongside acts as diverse as George Strait, Rob Zombie, Social Distortion, the Supersuckers, and John Doe and a sought after session player and sideman hiding in plain sight as a guitarist for Waylon Jennings, Duff McKagan, Ryan Bingham, Glenn Danzig, and L.A. punk pioneers X and boasting an extraordinary background that includes recording with the likes of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, working with Rob Zombie on the soundtracks for his iconic horror films, and releasing a series of acclaimed solo albums.
Inducted in 2022 into the Austin Music Hall of Fame, Daytonâs life story reads like a âwho's whoâ of American music. After being discovered at a Beaumont dive bar by Clifford Antone, owner of iconic Austinâs Home of the Blues, Daytonâs trio began packing clubs and theatres across Houston, Dallas, and Austin, Texas. His first solo recordâfeaturing great luminaries like Doug Sahm, Flaco Jimenez, and Johnny Gimbleâhit #1 on the Americana charts, and then he was off to the races, touring the world with punk legends Social Distortion, The Supersuckers, and X, and helping with arrangements and guitar on The Supersuckersâ biggest selling record, âMustâve Been High.âÂ

A very under the radar talent. Samantha's kick ass licks, rip roaring riffs and overwhelming stage presence were truly outstanding! There was a great chemistry between all members on stage (the drummer was exceptional). My wife and I will most definitely be on the look out for her next shows in Scotland (fingers crossed for Barrowland)!
