Captured at Knoxville’s historic Bijou Theatre in front of a packed crowd, Paper Doll Live showcases Fish and her band firing on all cylinders. The record features soaring harmonies from Nashville gospel legends The McCrary Sisters and captures the raw, electrifying stage presence that has made Samantha Fish one of the most compelling live performers in modern blues and roots music.

“There’s a fire that comes across in live performance that doesn’t always translate in studio albums,” says Fish. “The stage lays all of that bare.”

Critics have long praised her shows as “wild, raunchy… an absolute must-see” (Louder Than War) with “savage guitar work and commanding stage presence” (Blues Rock Review). Paper Doll Live delivers exactly that energy — raw, immediate, and impossible to fake.

“If Paper Doll was a declaration of artistic power,” Fish adds, “Paper Doll Live is the sound of that power unleashed.”
