Simply, Incredible!! Her songwriting skills are second to NONE, as are her live performances. A rare talent these days, make it a point to see her live if you can. You will not be disappointed!

[@sixslinger9951]

That is raw talent. Beautiful.

[@chevreherd]

All of her albums are outstanding and amazing journey of great music. She writes complex songs they are not easy to sing. But so beautiful

[@organicform]

Samantha's range from the beauty she performed here to the mind bending power she has with the electric guitar and her soulful vocals, she's monumental, I think it's her thoughtfulness and driven intent to give her audience the strongest performance she is capable of, is what sets her apart. It's not all about her, she's not ego driven. Thank you Gibson for featuring Samantha!

[@iwazzabadboy1982]

Seen her 3 times on the rail....Gave her a Mike Campbell pick in Minneapolis the last show here in Minneapolis...Thanks for posting this...Incredible singer,player and song writer...Thanks again Samantha & Gibson😎😎😎😎

[@AnonymousBosch3158]

She is awesome... she sings so incredibly good.

[@Galiuros]

Thanks for spotlighting Samantha. You can hear she was at ease and willing share her story and sing us a song. She came Tucson a couple of years ago and played in a relatively small venue. I was enthralled the entire show.

[@sillennium]

Great singer and guitarist! Can't wait to see her on the Tonight Show or Conan!!!! She needs that next level

[@duj1arm]

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing Samantha Fish in Manchester in March.

[@willidaeppen8121]

Great Samantha. Love it so much.

[@JJ-JOHNSON]

I love to hear Samantha sing and she's a outstanding guitar player, I love all her music.

[@dmitrysobolin5158]

Interesting interview and beautiful version of Dream Girl. Thank you very much, Gibson. It was wonderful

[@scottmacphee35]

She is the real deal. Wow.

[@ldfrench1]

Lovely performance of such a beautiful, emotional song! Love the brief interview, too! Thank you!

[@gibsonguitar]

Thanks for watching!

[@guillermoortega4119]

AWESOME

[@frantisca]

Very talented singer and guitarist. She transmits lots of feeling and emotion through her music + a gentle person from the interviews I've seen.

[@BluesBroad]

LOVE Samantha Fish!

[@jeffsmith880]

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

[@kendushane1039]

This little girl is the real deal. I know she’s gonna go far. Such talent

[@Muckers.]

This gal deserves all the attention and success coming to her.

[@kendushane1039]

Mega talented. Love her.

[@_RLP]

This is very, very good. Thanks for sharing.

[@gibsonguitar]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrRyeDaddy]

Beautiful song. Different seeing her with an acoustic, I always think of her with the white SG.

[@Dominaxel]

A moving video, because composed by the artist when she express (maybe for the first time so clearly), her intimate inner world. The intonations tinged with nostalgia are at the same time very sweet! We discover a new silky voice tones that we didn't know before. ♫❤︎ S Fish french FB group.

[@selenamac]

Love her!!! Samantha Fish 🤘🔥

[@lmgaulin]

So authentic and beautiful! Thank you for this sweet moment of intimacy Samantha Fish 👏🙏💙

[@benjaminvictor4996]

Whoa, that was something else.

[@chevreherd]

Beautiful job all around. I especially love her playing in background of her interview

[@billiewooten7465]

Breaks me down .so beautiful and yet hurts

[@robinpeterson106]

That was beautiful Sam.

[@jeffreyedgington2739]

Love the insight into personal influences as she was getting started. Also enjoy seeing a purely acoustic Samantha on this beautiful song.

[@VonBluesman]

Beautiful song. I am looking forward to seeing you at Jazz Fest this year and watching you preform some of your new album. I hope you are not playing on the weekend of the Dallas Guitar Show like last year, that’s a tough choice. Do I see Samantha Fish and her great band or do I see a 1959 Gibson Les Paul, more Les Paul’s, and some great 50’s and 60’s model Fender Strats ? LOL I hope to get to see you preform at your Samantha Fish Cigar Box Guitar Fest. You have really grown leaps and bounds and have some great music on the new album, it seems like you tour nonstop. Thank you.

[@robertpurdy4452]

Good old Knuckleheads. I've only been down once from Des Moines to see someone there but it has a great atmosphere. It would be great to see Samantha there.

[@JohnWilson-ys5tc]

Knucks is a awesome venue. All their stages are very intimate with the audience. Personally I think that she would need a little bigger venue that is still very intimate. She has a lot of fans in her home town of kc. I think starlight theater would be awesome.

[@graemero5532]

Very nice

[@Toadmeister894]

Song’s like a lullaby to me

[@Eventual420]

Beautiful.

[@RaúlMoralesJr]

Samantha Fish 😍❤😍❤

Beautiful Sammi 💕😘😘

[@ronny-2112]

Samantha is a great guitarist, I think she is very underrated. She is very talented.

[@packfandand]

Wonderful video!

[@augustocezar9010]

Great

[@KailynsJoy]

❤️ 🤘 That's my girl. Congrats on the Gibson spotlight, Samantha.

[@ELVIS7198]

i love Samantha

[@Birkguitars]

So is this evidence of formal Gibson endorsement...? Great video anyway. I saw her do War Pigs last year as the encore in Birmingham (UK version - birthplace of Black Sabbath) and it was one of those spine tingling moments. Some of her songs are raw power but this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces she has written. Five star performance and great to see Gibson providing a platform for her.

[@argentino001]

La mejor!!!

[@carlosvc5811]

as much as I love Slayer, Dylan the Stones, the Dead... she is the coolest, smartest, most talented, HARDEST WORKING, I mean last year{2018} she played over 250 shows. Ive met her twice and she is awesome! she stays and talks/takes pictures with anybody who is in the line till they are all gone. her shows are as awesome as her band. Im 58 years old and she is , every day becoming, I think the BEST ALL AROUND MUSICIAN OF ALL TIME! ya ever seen her play war pigs! watch Samantha fish with trampled under foot/goin down slow wow what a video of a young Samantha in complete control of everything( watch drummer, he is in heaven). she writes, sings/fronts the band, only guitar player needed on stage, very business savvy , beautiful, honest, sweet and funny ALL IN HIGH HEELS!!! EVERY ALBUM (6 now) IS GREAT! turn your friends on to her! DREAM GIRL WITH A DREAM GUITAR, THANKS GIBSON, WONDERFUL VIDEO!

[@examinaitudoretendeobem]

Lady Fish shows that in addition to the enormous and creative talent she is also an excellent producer with her beautiful band!!

[@guitarampcontroller490]

This is awesome. If you liked it now go find her video for Bulletproof. You can thank me later.

[@MIABEANIEBOOS]

[@davidbhopkins5616]

Check the spelling in the description. Typos :) Feel free to delete once corrected.

[@Galiuros]

Looks like just a typo since they got her name right the first time. No big deal.

"Starting out as a dummer"

[@ericridg7143]

If Samantha wants to be my dream girl and chase away my demons I'd live up to those dreams of hers.

[@gomerhanger2285]

she looks like a band member of BRMC.
