Music: Samantha Fish

I had the good fortune of catching the Boca Blues Festival last weekend, and I went mostly to see the headlining performer, blues singer-songwriter Samantha Fish:

Samantha Fish's appeal is obvious - she combines sizzling guitar chops honed in KC's Knuckleheads Saloon with vocals that can wail with the best of them (Exhibit A: her cover of "Screamin' Jay" Hawkins "I Put a Spell on You"). This being a festival setting, her set only lasted an hour or so, but it was wall-to-wall music, featuring everything from uptempo rockers to extended jam sessions. 

Fish still has plenty of tour dates this year, so if she's in your neck of the woods, go out and see her.
