Samantha Fish Concert
Blues in the 'Burg Concert Series SAMANTHA FISH Saturday, March 21, 2015 at 7:30pm
Doors open at 6:45pm
Take cover: there's a storm coming. With lyrical thunderbolts, lightning-flash fretwork and ground-shaking grooves, Samantha Fish is going to blow the roof off the CCC with her modern rocking sound. With Samantha's name buzzing on the blues scene and the iron hot, she is touring the world to share her searing lead guitar style. Samantha is classified as a blues artist, but she crosses musical borders while expressing soulful elements of Americana, rock, country and roots. Finding inspiration from fallen '80s heroes like Stevie Ray Vaughan, right back to the pre-war Delta masters. 'I fell in love with it,' she told Premier Guitar of her growing passion for the form, 'and started doing my homework by listening to the old guys like Son House and Skip James.' Soon enough, appreciation for the blues had spilled over into application, and by the age of 18, she broke into a dues-paying period on the jam circuit: an apprenticeship at the sharp end that tightened her musical chops, polished her stagecraft and gave her the grit to overcome occasional skepticism about her age, hair tone and gender. ?I always hated the idea of the gimmick,? she told Premier Guitar. 'People come out just because you are a girl, but then you have so much more to prove once you get them in the door.' Only in her mid-20s, Samantha displays an impressive knowledge of and respect for music of yore and has the skills and polish to ensure a lively performance for all ages. Samantha received the prestigious Blues Music Award (BMA) for 'Best New Artist Debut' in 2012. Her set list includes molten and grimy originals, from her latest album, 'Black Wind Howlin' along with a few covers from artists Steve Miller, John Hiatt, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, R.L. Burnside, Tom Waits and Charley Patton . This is the sound of an artist on the brink of the big-time with both hands on the wheel.
