Nice venue. Lots of old school rockers in for a great show. Samantha Fish rocked the house. She and the crowd were in sync all night. She really gets the most out of her talent and puts a lot of energy into the show. I loved it from start to finish where the venue owner was thanking people for coming in the parking lot. Nice touch, great night! Go see Samantha Fish. Saw her in Denver with Slash-needed another helping!

Absolutely great show and venue! Samantha Fish is a star on her way to super star. Personality combined with supreme talent and a skill. Plus an adorable smart-ass. And let's not forget the venue. Longhorn is a wonderful place to see a show. The staff are so accommodating and the building houses a mini music museum. Go early and enjoy it all.

Samantha Fish put on a fast-paced guitar driven performance at the Castle Theater on October 10, 2023. A crowd of 400 watched as Fish ran through a high-energy set. Fish was accompanied by keyboards, bass, and drums for most of the show. Fish dismissed the band for a couple of songs. The set was a mix of some of her best tunes and some real rockers. The encore with blues guitarist and show opener Eric Johanson featured a blistering guitar shoot out between Sam and Eric. As my 8th time seeing Fish, she just gets better every time I see here. Do not pass up an opportunity to see her.

Hello,
Sweetwater is a great venue to watch a concert! As usual, Samantha Fish knocked it out of the park! You wouldn't expect anything less than that from Samantha! Jesse Dayton adds well on collaborating with the songs from the Deathwish Blues Album. Looking forward for Samantha to get back to touring by herself and hopefully Sarah Tomek and Matt Wade will be back as part of the band, they are such a tight group!!

First time at Longhorn Ballroom and it was a great venue with attentive staff and good sound. Samantha and Jesse tore the place down with their performance. This was my 3rd time to see them together and they put on one hell of a show from soft acoustical to jams that had the crowd coming to their feet! It was a tremendous show!

5 stars because Samantha is amazing!
A bad day of Fish’n is better than a good day at work. The sound quality was acoustically horrible. No fault of Samantha’s!!! I am glad I already know how amazing she is and this wasn’t my introduction to her music. The sound engineer at this show was terrible and it never improved throughout the show. Whoever it was did a HUGE disservice to Samantha. Don’t judge her by this show. Samantha Fish is a superstar in every regard. She has spent the last 10 tears honing her skills. No one plays the guitar, writes their own lyrics or sounds quite like her. She is absolutely an amazing artist! Tops in my book! I’ve been known to listen to one song of hers over and over and over set on repeat for months straight. Last September. Cowtown. Dream Girl. Gone For Good. On and on. She is THAT GOOD!!!

Great venue, great set list, great band! Great support band too!
My first time in the Komedia, and my first time to see both Wille and the Bandits and Samantha Fish, and I wasn’t disappointed on any count.
The queue to get in was a bit of a shock - didn’t expect quite that, but we were soon inside, enjoying a tasty local Bath brewed beer and the opening of Wille and the Bandits set. A great range of songs, some earlier and some from their latest album. All good stuff.
All too soon, the set was over, and after some pretty quick and slick stage setup work, it was time for Samantha. She started with a thundering number, playing on a four string cigar box with some blistering slide work. There then followed a high octane set with no let up right through to and including the well deserved encore.
All in all, a fantastic evening. Final word? If you’re reading this and you haven’t seen either of these bands before, get yourself tickets as soon as you can! You won’t regret it!

What an amazing performance at the Salvage Station Easter Sunday!
Samantha Fish is a powerhouse guitarist, vocalist & (Dare I say it?) one who knows a thing or two about "Crowd Control."
And CONTROL the crowd, she did!
Accompanying her onstage were bassist Ron Johnson, Sarah Tomek on drums, and Matt Wade on the keyboards.
Performing songs from "Faster," "Chills & Fever" and earlier albums, the Samantha Fish band held the Appalachian Mountains in western North Carolina captive Sunday night.
And personally I enjoyed my bout of Stockholm Syndrome.
Samantha delivered a sonic onslaught of six-string madness as the crowd begged for more. And more is what the got.
With tunes like "No Angels", "Better Be Lonely" "Kill Or Be Kind", filling the venue, this was a show to remember. (And one more thing I can mark off my Bucket List but will have to be repeated over and over.)
If you'd like to see for yourself, check out some of her past concerts on YouTube. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks Samantha. Can't wait to see you again.

This was a kickass show! Samantha Fish has an incredible voice and play a mean guitar. Anyone can have skills but her heart and her whole being in addition to those skills is what makes her an exceptional musician. Her band is excellent.
Cat's Cradle is my favorite venue. It's intimate with good acoustics.
Staff is great. Drinks are reasonably priced and bathrooms clean.

What a talent! I expected a great performance but WOW we were blown away!! Totally impressed with her! Her voice ❤️ and her guitar playing is right up there with the big names!! Awesome is not strong enough word, and she’s beautiful to boot!! Two big thumbs up 👍 👍. Can’t wait to see her again!!

Her show in Columbia was the third time I've seen Samantha perform. First time in Columbia at the Roots Blues Festival. Also it was the second time I saw her in 2021. Saw her the Stomp the Blues Festival in Springfield and when I heard she was playing at the Blue Note, I knew I would be there. Great show and a fantastic venue. Look to future shows.

I liked her current sound and style. Back to the Blues and Blues/Rock. I really liked her band: organ, drums, and the bass player, who has been with her many years, is incredible. He hauls ass on the bass.
I and the 4 people I was with agreed that we did not like the warm-up act. We all thought that they were boring and that their music genre, performance style, and quality of playing did not seem to be a good choice to be the opening act for Samantha.

She without any doubt puts on the best show! Amazing voice and guitar style! She is very down to earth and great with her fans. I go to shows and concerts all the time, I have been for years and Samantha last nite was the best by far! She blew me away! I will catch her show when ever she in town, Love you Samantha!

First time (for me): taking in a show at Sweetwater, and; seeing Samantha Fish live. Absolutely loved both! Great venue, hard to find anything negative/constructive to offer. Samantha...what a performer! Truly wish she had been the main act; 45 minutes was not nearly enough! She is such a good musician, has a great voice and you can feel her passion as she plays her set...hated to see it come to an end. But did actually get to meet her afterwards, so tough to beat that!
Fort Wayne, IN@Performance Pavilion at Sweetwater
Good gig but an obnoxious crowd. Camera phones on selfie sticks with no regard for the paying audience. Seriously rude barging at the stage and the merch stall. Daddy, your daughter could teach you some manners Samantha has an awesome voice, serious guitar skills and most of all, in public she's a lovely person. She loves her fans and treats them right, even the rude ones.
London, United Kingdom@The Garage
The ultimate performer, like no other artist in music. She is breaking down the barrier of Blues in her own style and sounds. There are artists that come along and redefine music and genres. Make no mistake, Blues never felt so electrifying, with every beat of her heart pouring out over the crowd, she leaves you wanting more.

Samantha was great. The 3 stars is due to the venue. 40 degrees outside and raining and doors opened an hour late. They blamed it on the band arriving late and some cockamamie excuse that they can’t let people in while the band is doing sound checks.
Add to that, The Token’s sound system blows. Feedback and technical problems throughout the show.
A premier concert venue? I guess that doesn’t include lighting. Every time Samantha moves away from the mic she was pretty much in darkness.
Samantha Fish is Must-See. But not at the Token Lounge.
Westland, MI@The Token Lounge
Samantha Fish and her band have really improved their performance skills and show, they have a great full sound and she has become a talented entertainer. The only thing I was disappointed in was I didn’t recognize any of the songs, and I have all of her records so I must be missing something. But I was very much looking forward to her performing her early bluesy songs that she was so very good at. I would see her again.
Birmingham, AL@Saturn
Samantha Fish put on a great show - she is hot! But the Slidebar venue gets low marks and I will not go there again. Standing room only! No seating. Opening act starts at 8:30 for a 8 pm show. Stage is too low and with tall guys in front it was not possible to see the performers much.
