Guitar badass Samantha Fish and outlaw country maverick Jesse Dayton announces new shows in Biloxi and New Orleans to close out 2022, and four Texas shows are in January 2023. (Scroll down for a complete list of tour dates.) And Samantha will be ringing in the new year in Richmond, Missouri. This wild partnership will introduce several new songs that will appear on their forthcoming collaborative album produced by Jon Spencer. The record will be released in the early Summer of 2023 via Rounder Records.
An award-winning singer, songwriter, and lead guitarist, Samantha Fish has released six albums over the course of her acclaimed career, with 2019's Faster and 2021's Kill or Be Kind both appearing on Rounder Records. "It's not pure rock and roll, it's not pure blues, it's not pure soul, it's not pure pop — it's a mixture of everything," she says of her genre-bending sound, which has regularly taken Fish around the world. A road warrior, she performs 200 shows yearly, both domestically and abroad.
Jesse Dayton has been bringing his unique mashup of East Texas/Louisiana Blues, old-school country, and punk rock to the world since he released his debut album in 1995. Thirteen records later, he remains a staple on SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country and the Americana Radio charts, where his debut LP Raising Cain reached Number 1. Jesse’s career reads like a veritable “who’s who” of American music. He’s toured with Social Distortion, Supersuckers, George Strait, Ryan Bingham, and L.A. punk pioneers, X and has recorded with legends such as Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, and Duff Mckagan from Guns N' Roses. He’s also recorded three soundtracks for filmmaker Rob Zombie. One can read about Dayton’s storied past in his 2022 memoir, Beaumonster.
