Samantha Fish isn’t just making waves in the blues-rock world — she’s rewriting the rulebook. With her fierce guitar work, genre-blending creativity, and fearless presence, she’s at the height of a career that refuses to stay in one lane. We gathered insights from some of her most recent interviews to bring you a portrait of an artist on fire in 2025.
🎸On Her New Album Paper Doll
“This record feels like I’m leaning into my superpowers — the emotion, the energy, the guitar.”
— May the Rock Be With You
“We cut it in breaks between tours — I was completely in the zone, and that made it raw and real.”
Quick Take: Paper Doll marks a confident return to form — gritty, guitar-driven, and emotionally resonant.
🎸On Her Relentless Touring Schedule
“Last year was insane. I played with Slash, Hendrix tributes, opened for The Stones… It was like a rock ‘n’ roll bootcamp.”
— Blues Blast Magazine
“When you walk out before The Rolling Stones and hear 60,000 people, it’s like an electric punch to the chest.”
Tour Highlights:
- Opened for The Rolling Stones in Missouri
- Played Bourbon & Beyond Festival
- Joined the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Blues Tour with Slash
- Participated in Experience Hendrix tribute shows
🎸On Collaborating with Jesse Dayton — Death Wish Blues
“We wanted to kick down the door of what people think blues should sound like.”
— Rock & Blues Muse
“Jesse and I found this chemistry that was explosive — it made me perform in a totally different headspace.”
Grammy-nominated and gloriously gritty, Death Wish Blues proved Fish isn’t afraid to blow up tradition to make something new.
🎸On Recharging in New Orleans
“When I come home, I cook, hang out with my cats, and remember who I am away from the stage.”
— 100% Rock Magazine
“New Orleans is wild, weird, and totally free — it’s a great place for a musician to reset.”
Fun Fact: She cites New Orleans’ chaotic creativity as a grounding force amid her high-speed touring life.
🎸On Her Influences and Sound Identity
“You know Slash the moment he plays — same with Keith Richards or B.B. King. That’s what I’m chasing: a sound that’s unmistakably me.”
— Blues Blast Magazine
Core Inspiration: Guitarists with a voice — not just technique, but identity.
🎸What’s Next?
“I’ve got more music in me — I’m just scratching the surface of what I want to say as an artist.”
— May the Rock Be With You
Whether she’s fronting a guitar or pushing genre boundaries, Samantha Fish is one of today’s most vital musicians — and her journey is far from over.
