Info for Faster
Samantha Fish hat praktisch jede Auszeichnung erhalten, die sich ein zeitgenössischer Blues-Sänger / Songwriter / Gitarrist erhoffen kann. Sie ist eine Festival-Headlinerin mit mehreren Blues Music Awards, die das Cover von Gitarrenmagazinen ziert und international vor vollen Häusern tourt. Fish beherrscht ihre kathartischen Shows mit ihrer kantigen Stimme und ihrer unverblümten Slide-Gitarre.
Für ihr siebtes Album, "Faster", wollte sie ihren Sound über den traditionellen Blues-Rock hinaus erweitern und die Haltung und Energie ihrer Live-Auftritte einfangen. Mit der Hilfe von Produzent Martin Kierszenbaum hat sie ihre bisher stärksten Songs geschrieben und ihren Sound über ihre Blues-Rock-Komfortzone hinaus erweitert, um Hard Rock, Elektro-Pop und Retro-Soul einzubeziehen.
Das Ergebnis ist eine höchst unterhaltsame Zusammenstellung scharf komponierter Songs, in denen Fishs brennende Leadgitarre und ihr schwüler Gesang, der mit einem punkigen Grinsen vorgetragen wird, im Vordergrund stehen. Kierszenbaums Keyboards setzen einen poppigen Kontrapunkt zu Fishs Rock-Attitüde, begleitet von einer treibenden Rhythmusgruppe mit Josh Freese und Diego Naviara.
"Faster" ist ein aufregender Aufbruch für eine Künstlerin, die gerade erst in Fahrt kommt: Sie hat ihren mitreißenden Live-Sound auf einer Sammlung von Aufnahmen festgehalten, die verspricht, neue Wege zu gehen und neue Fans auf der ganzen Welt zu erreichen. Wie der Titelsong sagt, wird es Ihr Herz schneller schlagen lassen.
"Edel-Pop-Rock mit aufregenden Arrangements, Ohrwurmmelodien und einem künstlerischen Anspruch, der die leichte Verdaulichkeit nicht beeinträchtigt - SAMANTHA FISHs Schulterschluss mit einem Pop-Schwergewicht als Songwriter und Producer ist uneingeschränkt gelungen." (Andreas Schiffmann, musikreviews.de)

Samantha Fish
Just a few months ago, very few people outside Kansas City, Missouri knew there was a young, dynamic musician named Samantha Fish getting ready to take the world by storm. In fact, it's not all that long ago that the 22-year-old singer/guitarist first discovered the blues and started paying her dues on that city's local scene. With Runaway, her solo debut, she now breaks out big time, announcing herself as a newcomer to be reckoned with.
The album's ten tracks - nine of them originals - incorporate "all the sounds I grew up with, with my own spin," says Fish, who seems to have spent her formative years in the Midwest soaking up a vast array of musical styles. Runaway features sharp-edged, riff-driven blues ("Down in the Swamp"), breakneck boogies ("Runaway"), smoky, late-night jazz ("Feelin' Alright") as well as hints of the sultry 70s hard rock of Ann and Nancy Wilson and the 4/4 ruggedness of the Rolling Stones. Throughout, Fish demonstrates astonishing range and depth as a songwriter. Her vocals are cool, confident and nothing less than beguiling.
Backing her on this eclectic collection of modern electric blues is the same crack team that first convened for the making of Girls With Guitars. That collaboration with fellow female artists Cassie Taylor and Dani Wilde, released earlier this year, already showed that Fish refuses to be intimidated, even when working with musicians more experienced than herself. "They are incredibly talented and creative, so it made for fun sessions," she says of the well-oiled studio band heard on Runaway. Jamie Little, one of the UK's most in-demand drummers, reunites with bassist Cassie Taylor to give the record plenty of rhythmic thump. Producer Mike Zito, a St. Louis native and 2010 Blues Music Award winner, adds thick, meaty electric guitar on most cuts. "Mike and I have known each other for a few years now, so he knew the sound and style I was after. He did a great job of taking ideas and giving them direction in the studio setting."
In between making these first two albums, Fish spent a month on the road with Cassie Taylor and Dani Wilde for the first leg of the year-long Blues Caravan Tour. It gave her the valuable opportunity to road-test the material heard on Runaway to a discriminating audience. With an exciting new debut album now in her back pocket, the tour continues throughout the summer and into the fall of 2011, touching down at many European and North American festivals and even taking to the seas on the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise in October.
