Multi-Award-winning American Blues guitarist and singer-songwriter Samantha Fish is happy to announce that London-based Americana band Curse Of Lono will be special guests on her May 2019 UK Tour. The band released their second album ‘As I Fell’ last year. Curse of Lono’s sound can best be described as “sumptuously cinematic record that combines harmony-laden Americana with driving, gothic alt-rock”. Tickets for all dates are available via www.alttickets.com/samantha-fish-tickets.
The tour coincides with Samantha’s new studio album to be released later this year, and is the follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2017 albums Belle of the West and Chills & Fever.
After launching her recording career in 2009, Samantha quickly established herself as a rising star in the contemporary blues world. Since then, the charismatic young singer-guitarist-songwriter 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 taking her in new and exciting 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 noted, “Samantha Fish has kicked down the door of the patriarchal blues club” and observed that the young artist “displays more imagination and creativity than some blues veterans exhibit over the course of their careers.”
As far as Samantha is concerned, her musical future is an open road. “I’m never gonna be a traditional blues artist, because that’s not who I am,” she asserts. “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 gotta keep that kind of fire and spirit. I’m never gonna do Muddy Waters better than Muddy Waters, so I have to be who I am and find my best voice.”
