SAMANTHA FISH: The Paper Doll Tour
Samantha Fish is one of the most formidable guitarists of her generation. In her own unmatched brand of bravado, she brings both mind-blowing power and extraordinary emotionality to everything she creates. Since first introducing the world to her larger-than-life talent, the multi-award-winning festival headliner has built a triumphant career whose latest milestones include earning a GRAMMY© nomination for Death Wish Blues (her 2023 collaboration with rocker Jesse Dayton) and opening for The Rolling Stones on their final 2024 U.S. tour date.
On her new album Paper Doll, Fish offers up nine powerhouse songs that hit with an unstoppable force, each delivered with an exquisite dose of illuminating insight, soul-soothing empathy, and—above all—newly heightened clarity of vision. “It’s taken me years to finally find my voice in a studio setting,” Fish admits. “But with this record I took everything I had and slammed it right on the table.”
TAB BENOIT: The I Hear Thunder Tour
A four-time GRAMMY©-nominated singer, songwriter and guitarist, Tab Benoit has spent more than three decades at the forefront of Delta swamp blues.

After a 13-year recording hiatus, Benoit returned with I Hear Thunder on his own label, Whiskey Bayou Records, marking his first Billboard No. 1 album in over 30 years. In addition to his musical career, Benoit is the founder of Voice of the Wetlands, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Louisiana’s coastal ecosystems.
