Singer-songwriter/guitarist Samantha Fish, the world’s No. 7-ranked blues guitarist according to Guitar World, is a multi-award-winner from Missouri who unleashes a bold collision of blues, soul, punk, funk, and fantastically greasy rock ‘n roll. Her latest album, Death Wish Blues, ultimately opens the blues genre to entirely new audiences and is a collaboration with vocalist/guitarist Jesse Dayton, who has recorded with the likes of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, toured as a guitarist for seminal punk band X, worked with Rob Zombie on the soundtracks for his iconic horror films, and released many albums. Catch their electrifying brand of blues/rock-and-roll from their new album and more as Samantha Fish, Jesse Dayton, and their band make their debut in Victoria at Harbour Blues ‘n Roots Festival!
Opening for this evening will be Winnipeg-born rock/blues/country singer-songwriter Boy Golden.
