  • Samantha Fish announces “Shake ‘Em on Down Tour”

    Samantha Fish has announced the return of her annual Shake ‘Em on Down Tour, which will bring together Fish, Cedric Burnside, and Daddy Long Legs for a run of U.S. dates in December 2026.

    Fish curated the multi-artist tour, which will feature three different approaches to blues music. The 14-date trek begins December 2 at Vinyl Music Hall in Pensacola, Florida, and concludes December 20 at Mercury Ballroom in Louisville, Kentucky.

    Fish, a two-time Grammy-nominated guitarist and singer, will headline the tour. She has continued to expand her sound throughout her career, incorporating elements of rock, soul, roots, and other styles while remaining grounded in the blues.

    Joining Fish will be Grammy-winning musician Cedric Burnside, one of the leading modern representatives of North Mississippi Hill Country blues. The grandson of blues legend R.L. Burnside, Cedric Burnside has built his own career as a guitarist, drummer, singer, and songwriter while carrying forward his family’s musical legacy.

    Brooklyn-based Daddy Long Legs will round out the lineup. The band combines blues with garage rock, punk, and vintage country-blues influences, with harmonica playing a prominent role in its raw, stripped-down sound. The group describes itself as New York City’s “diabolical rhythm and blues street gang.”

    The Shake ‘Em on Down Tour will make stops throughout the Southeast, including shows in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.

    The complete tour schedule can be found below.
