Blues-rock artist Samantha Fish, known for her genre-bending performances, is heading on a winter tour with Jon Spencer and Cedric Burnside Jr.
Kansas City-bred guitarist and singer Samantha Fish was barely 20 when she released her debut album in 2009. She is now embarked on her San Diego-bound 2024 winter tour. Samantha Fish is certifiably the only blues-rock artist who last year opened for pop superstar Ed Sheeran at a festival in New Orleans (or anywhere else) as a prelude to performing at the 2023 edition of Eric Clapton’s star-studded Crossroads Festival in Los Angeles.
The adaptability of this Kansas City-born guitarist, singer and band leader is further demonstrated by a look at the set list from her Dec. 11 concert in Seattle. She opened that show with her version of the MC5’s 1968 proto-punk-rock rave-up, “Kick Out The Jams,” and closed with her revved-up version of delta-blues pioneer Bukka White’s 1937 classic, “Shake ‘Em On Down.” In between came eight of her own songs and her rendition of Nina Simone’s 1965 chestnut, “Either Way I Lose.” Perhaps not coincidentally, Fish is now embarked on her second annual Shake ‘Em On Down Tour, which this year teams her with former Jon Spencer Blues Explosion leader and namesake Jon Spencer and Mississippi guitar and vocal ace Cedric Burnside Jr., who was just 13 when he became the drummer in the band led by his now-deceased grandfather, the storied guitarist and singer RL Burnside. The opportunity to hear Fish, Burnside and Spencer perform with their respective bands should be a triple treat. Ditto the opportunity to hear all three do a song or two together, should they be so inclined. Here’ hoping they will.
