Guitarist

One of the most formidable guitarists of her generation, the multi-award-winning festival headliner has built a triumphant career whose milestones include earning a GRAMMY® nomination for Death Wish Blues (her 2023 collaboration with rocker Jesse Dayton, which hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart) and invitations to tour with The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, SLASH, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Eric Johnson on the Experience Hendrix Tour and more. 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.

Reigning from Southern California, Robert Jon & The Wreck take the classic Southern rock sound and infuse it with a distinctly modern edge. Since their inception in 2011, the band—Robert Jon Burrison (lead vocals, guitar), Andrew Espantman (drums, background vocals), Henry James (lead guitar, background vocals), Warren Murrel (bass), and Jake Abernathie (keyboards)—has captivated audiences worldwide with their powerful guitar work, rich vocal harmonies, and genre-blurring songwriting. Their latest studio album, Red Moon Rising (2024), marks a bold new chapter for the band. Produced by the legendary Kevin Shirley (Iron Maiden, The Black Crowes), the album showcases the group’s evolution, blending funk-infused rhythms, heartfelt lyrics, and Southern rock roots.

Dayton, meanwhile, boasts an extraordinary background that includes recording with the likes of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, touring as a guitarist for seminal punk band X, working with Rob Zombie on the soundtracks for his iconic horror films, and releasing a series of acclaimed solo albums.

Samantha Fish Bulletproof Tour 2024

Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center

Singer/songwriter Samantha Fish grew up in Missouri and found her love of songwriting in her late teens, taking inspiration from Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. She began playing the guitar at 15 and started cold-calling local bars, looking for gigs. “I used to open the phone book and call up every place in Kansas City, even if they didn’t have live shows,” she said. “I had maybe a three percent success rate, but eventually I started filling up my calendar. If you put on a good enough show, word of mouth gets around.”
