Samantha Fish - Paper Doll Live
- Details
- Written by: Bridgette "Bluebird"
Modern blues roots guitar wielding champion, Samantha Fish, has been a leader in keeping the blues alive - and helping blues rock evolve. Leadership knows their audience and engages their passions. Leadership builds trust, then pushes the boundaries of curiosity and human connection. A free fall of thousands of people into the collective consciousness of total immersion does not happen by accident.
From a teenager cold calling bars, Samantha has been comfortable on stages, and she levels the field between artist and fan. She immediately welcomes the crowd into her wavelength. Once attuned, the energy twists, turns, with deliciously, deliriously blinding fire, and sends us off into exhilaration. Rooted in Kansas City blues, and influenced by artists from Prince to Leonard Cohen, as well as the legends of Mississippi Hill Country blues, she has created her own sound, and newcomers to her shows are often unprepared for her mighty power.

In a world where most days we wake up with news about various dooms and glooms, wars, atrocities and what have you, it is refreshing and uplifting to find, from time to time, some stories about resurgence, resilience and desire to reconnect with what matters the most in our lives.
One of those stories concerns a worldwide much loved and respected American Blues/Rock guitarists and singer/songwriters, Ryan McGarvey who, for quite some time, had not released a studio album (his last one was the 2018 one called Heavy Hearted, one of the best in McGarvey's career to date) and not toured live for a number for years too.

For a considerable number of years, now, Denmark and, overall, the Nordic part of Europe, has been injecting the world of Jazz music with hugely talented artists, most of them now widely known and appreciated in many parts of the world too.
Given the constant flourishing of a so much vibrant scene, the talented young Lithuanian Jazz vocalist Dalia Valančiūtė did not have to think twice, back a few years ago, to consider moving from her country of origin to Denmark, a place that would potentially open to her so many more possibilities and where the Lithuanian singer could fulfil her dreams and express herself at the very best.
