SINCE RELEASING LIVE BAIT, HER 2009 DEBUTalbum with the Samantha Fish Blues Band, Fish, a Missouri native, has built a rabid fanbase and garnered mega acclaim (including one of four different November 2019 Guitar World covers), thanks in part to an eclectic and energetic mix of styles, including rock, blues, soul and funk, all of which is occasionally delivered with a side of tasteful slide, sometimes played on a cigar box guitar. Since releasing her seventh and most recent studio album, 2021’s Faster, she’s kept an increasingly busy touring schedule, playing gigs around the world.

But toward the end of ’21, after touring behind for a few months, Fish realized she was ready for a new challenge — or at least a new “old” challenge; for well over a decade, she’d wanted to collaborate on a project with another guitar player. In fact, she hadn’t albums she recorded with Cassie Taylor, Dani Wilde and Victoria Smith back in 2011 and 2012.
