Following her triumphant Faster UK Tour in October this year, American guitarist Samantha Fish will return 12 months later in October 2023 for a new nine date UK tour.
Fish will perform songs from her 2021 released Faster album, featuring the singles ‘Twisted Ambition’, ‘All Ice, No Whiskey’, ‘Better Be Lonely’ and ‘Faster’. She will also perform songs from her extensive back catalogue including the radio smash single ‘Bulletproof’ from her 2019 breakthrough album, Kill Or Be Kind.
Faster marked Samantha’s first collaboration with producer Martin Kierszenbaum (Lady Gaga, Sting), who co-wrote eight of the album’s 12 songs and helped the genre-defying guitarist, singer, and songwriter to redefine her sound and venture into new sonic territory.
After launching her recording career in 2009, Samantha Fish established herself as a rising star in the contemporary blues world. The charismatic individual 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: “Samantha 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 Fish 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.”
Tickets are on sale now via Planet Rock and go on general sale at 9am on Friday 2nd December at Alttickets.com, Gigantic.com, Ticket Master, and Samantha Fish’s own website.
