Samantha Fish w/Jonathan Long
Shank Hall 1434 N. Farwell Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202
Samantha Fish’s spirited 2009 live album Live Bait helped her attract the attention of the German blues imprint Ruf Records, which signed her and paired her with a pair of two other young blues guitarists, Cassie Taylor and Dani Wilde, on the 2011 album Girls With Guitars. Fish has since rotated through a variety of different collaborators on her subsequent albums for the label. Her 2015 album Wild Heart was grounded in roots rock, but she took a harder, more aggressive turn on her latest record, 2017’s Chills & Fever, which she recorded in Detroit with members of the blues-punk band Detroit Cobras.
Guitarist Jonathon Long, who has just released a self-titled critically-acclaimed album on Samantha Fish's Wild Heart Records label, takes to the road in support of the album, opening for Fish's current tour, with a show locally at Shank Hall, 1434 N. Farwell Ave., Tuesday, December 11. Showtime: 8pm. Tickets: $25. Info: (414) 276-7288 or visit https://shankhall.com.
