But some people just focus on being incredible at guitar or they just want to be the greatest vocalist.”įish doesn’t care about awards or how she is regarded by the press. “I think lyrics are so important, but they’ve gotten lost in the shuffle these days,” Fish says. Her songs are vivid and compelling with thick guitar lines and catchy riffs. His stories are amazing.”įish is an inveterate storyteller, as well. Some people say Tom Waits can’t sing, but he’s an incredible songwriter. I got really into these great songwriters, like Tom Petty, John Hiatt and Tom Waits. “He threw a lot of great music at me since I was a kid. She’s a strong vocalist, who is a gifted guitarist that churns out gritty rock. It’s a more-mature release than anything I’ve put out, but I guess that just makes sense since I’m growing up.”įish isn’t a traditional blues artist. It’s a lot of storytelling that’s basically about my life. Life has been driving in a van going to shows. There are a lot of road songs since I’ve been on the road so much over the last year. “I took it to another place this time around. “I like that retro sound, so that’s what I write.” she says. While growing up in Kansas City, her friends were weaned on grunge, but Fish went back further. It sounds a lot like a '70s record, which is so cool to me.” We recorded it analog and it sounds so full and rich. “Some of the songs are in the classic rock vein, but they’re also blues-based,” Fish says. She follows her gut.įish, who will perform tonight at the Sellersville Theater, is gearing up for her next album, which has been completed but is as-yet untitled. The 25-year-old performer isn’t that type. If the emerging vocalist-blues-rock guitarist failed to do that, she would be the equivalent of a jingle writer.
“That’s not my thing - I’ll leave that to Katy Perry,” Fish says. When it comes to what she crafts, she doesn’t look to what’s contemporary.
