Samantha Fish
By Charlotte Stace
The blues musician from New Orleans, Samantha Fish has built a reputation as one of the best live performers in contemporary roots music. She mixes blues, rock, soul and Americana, with her gritty vocals earning her comparisons to legends like Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
2024 was a landmark year for the musician: her record Death Wish Blues, earned a Grammy nomination and hit No.1 on the Billboard Blues Charts for three weeks (her fifth album to do this); she toured with Slash on the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. tour; and opened for The Rolling Stones in the US.
While you’d think it couldn’t get much better for her, this year, she’s on an international tour of her own, with her latest record, Paper Doll (2025). Don’t miss the chance to catch this incredible performer in action.
