Samantha Fish

On March 9, 2026, Samantha Fish plays Le Splendid in Lille as part of her Paper Doll tour. A guitarist and singer who made her name on the American blues‑rock scene, she is known for incisive guitar work and direct songwriting that sits between blues and rock. With Paper Doll she returns with an album recorded for the first time with her touring band: nine tracks shaped as closely to the live setting as possible, where the energy allows room for breathing and emotion. The record is grounded in recent experiences that have marked her, such as her Grammy nomination for "Death Wish Blues," a duet with Jesse Dayton, and opening the Rolling Stones’ final U.S. concert in 2024. On stage, Samantha Fish emphasizes the collective, the interplay of guitars, and a voice with a distinctly textured grain, in a compact format driven by the group's chemistry. The show captures a pivotal moment in her career, between personal assertion and musical freedom.
