Samantha Fish impresses at Sweden Rock Festival

On June 5, 2025, American blues guitarist and singer Samantha Fish took the stage at Sweden Rock Festival in Norje. With a career spanning over a decade, Fish has established herself as one of the most prominent artists in modern blues.

During the concert, Fish performed several tracks from her latest album "Paper Doll," released earlier that year. The audience enjoyed songs like "Rusty Razor" and "Bulletproof," showcasing her skilled guitar playing and powerful vocals. A highlight was her rendition of MC5's classic "Kick Out the Jams," which was enthusiastically received by festival-goers.

Fish's band, consisting of Ron Johnson on bass, Jamie Douglass on drums, and Mickey Finn on keyboards, contributed to a tight and dynamic sound. Their interplay created an energetic atmosphere that permeated the entire performance.

In 2024 and 2025, Fish maintained an intense touring schedule. She participated in Slash's S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival, sharing the stage with several prominent artists. Additionally, she had the honor of opening for the Rolling Stones during their "Hackney Diamonds Tour" in July 2024, an experience she described as a "bucket list moment." [Source: Noise11.com]

Fish's performance at Sweden Rock Festival confirmed her position as one of the leading artists in the blues genre. Her ability to blend traditional blues with elements of rock and soul makes her a unique and appreciated artist on the international music scene.
