“With gritty, dirty hooks alongside fierce vocals from Samantha Fish, Death Wish is a bold collision of blues, soul, punk, funk, and fantastically greasy rock-and-roll.” – Grateful Web

Singer-songwriter/guitarist Samantha Fish, the world’s No. 7-ranked blues guitarist according to Guitar World, has made her name as a multi-award-winning festival headliner who captivates crowds with explosive yet elegant guitar work, delivering an unbridled, genre-defying form of blues-rock. Her latest album, Death Wish Blues, is a collaboration with vocalist/guitarist Jesse Dayton, who has recorded with the likes of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, toured as a guitarist for seminal punk band X, worked with Rob Zombie on the soundtracks for his iconic horror films, and released many albums. Death Wish Blues ultimately melds their eclectic sensibilities into a batch of songs both emotionally potent and wildly combustible, opening up the blues genre to entirely new audiences. Catch their electrifying brand of blues/rock-and-roll from their new album and more as Samantha Fish, Jesse Dayton, and their band make their debut in Victoria on the outdoor stage at Harbour Blues ‘n Roots Festival 2023!

Opening for this evening will be Winnipeg-born rock/blues/country singer-songwriter Boy Golden.
