The Chandler Center For the Arts, a very intimate setting with great acoustics and not a bad seat in the house, was about to witness something special. Samantha Fish and band walked out to a very quiet, still, didn’t-even-know-if-they-were-awake-at-times, sold-out crowd. Samantha changed that pretty quickly. By the fourth tune she started winning them over. And when she pulled out the cigar box guitar, she had them eating out of her hand, ending the night with a standing ovation from this low-key bunch.
Fish played a bunch of her older tunes and a few from her new album, Kill Or Be Kind. Her strong guitar playing and vocals won over the crowd so much that by the end they were up dancing and swaying to her high beat sound. This was simply just fun to watch. Samantha’s vocals and tight, bluesy guitar sound has her rising to the top. For an hour Samantha played music that ended with the crowd wanting more. After the show she greeted a long line of folks, signed autographs, took selfies, and just chatted it up. Classy as always as her new friends embraced her. Check out Samantha Fish as she continues on the road with Marc Broussard in the US before leaving for the UK in February of next year.
