Samantha Fish Unleashes New Single Rusty Razor and Confirms The Zac Schulze Gang as Special Guests on 2026 UK Tour.
American blues-rock powerhouse Samantha Fish has released her brand new single Rusty Razor, a ferocious and electifying track featuring Detroit garage rock icon Mick Collins (The Gories, The Dirtbombs). The song is the latest cut from Fish’s critically acclaimed grammy nominated album Paper Doll and arrives ahead of her highly anticipated Tour.
Described as a blistering, punk-infused blues anthem, Rusty Razor channels raw energy and emotional urgency, underscoring why Fish is widely regarded as one of the most compelling guitarists of her generation. Vive Le Rock recently hailed her as “one of the best contemporary blues players on the planet,” while Rock News awarded Paper Doll a perfect 10/10, calling it “a career-defining statement.”
To coincide with the single’s release, Fish has confirmed that The Zac Schulze Gang will join her as special guests on all UK tour dates. Known for their incendiary live performances and modern take on blues-rock, the band promises to set the tone for an unmissable run of shows. The Paper Doll UK Tour kicks off at York Barbican on Friday 27 February 2026, and will see Fish perform material from her latest album alongside fan favourites from across her catalogue, including Wild Heart, Chills & Fever, Belle of the West, Death Wish Blues, Faster, and Kill or Be Kind.
Demand for tickets has been exceptionally strong, with Edinburgh’s Queen’s Hall show on Friday 6 March 2026 now officially SOLD OUT, underlining Fish’s ever-growing UK fanbase.
The UK dates follow a remarkable period for Fish, who earned a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album for Paper Doll, having previously received a 2024 Grammy nomination for Death Wish Blues, her collaboration with Jesse Dayton. In recent years, she has also toured with Slash on his S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival and opened for The Rolling Stones on their final 2024 US tour date. Total Guitar has further cemented her legacy by naming her among the Top 100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time.
With Paper Doll, Fish continues to push creative boundaries, blending blues tradition with fearless rock, soul, and punk influences. The album, her first recorded with her touring band, has been widely praised for its power, vulnerability and unfiltered honesty, qualities that translate explosively to the live stage.
With a sold-out date already on the books and one of the UK’s most exciting blues-rock acts in support, Samantha Fish’s 2026 UK tour is shaping up to be one of the standout live music events of the year.
