Samantha Fish. Paper Doll (CD)

As an artist, singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Samantha Fish has earned numerous accolades for her unique self-expression (including multiple Blues Music Awards and a GRAMMY nomination), which she channels through explosive riffs, visceral rhythms, and spine-tingling vocals. Her talent has been recognized by none other than Eric Clapton, who invited her to perform at his Crossroads 2023 in Los Angeles. She’s a festival headliner, who has graced the cover of guitar magazines and toured internationally to packed houses. Fish commands her cathartic shows with her edgy vocal delivery and in-your-face slide guitar.

For her new album, Paper Doll, Fish teamed up with legendary producer Bobby Harlow. She crafted her strongest set of songs yet with the help of co-writers Kate Pearlman, Jim McCormick, Anders Osborne, and Harlow. Her eclectic sensibilities are channeled into a batch of songs both emotionally potent and wildly combustible and helps fulfill her longtime mission of opening up the blues genre to entirely new audiences.
