Award Winning Blues Artists Coming to Bishop Hill
January 11 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Bishop Hill Creative Commons is excited to welcome award-winning blues rock artist Amanda Fish with opening act Jerm Theory for an electrifying night of live music on Sunday, January 11. The evening will begin with an optional potluck dinner at 6:00 PM (guests are invited to bring a dish to share), followed by the concert at 7:00 PM. This is an all-ages show, with a suggested donation of $20–30, with all proceeds going directly to the artists.
Born and raised in the rich musical landscape of Kansas City, Amanda Fish has built a powerful reputation for her fearless blend of blues rock and Americana, driven by impassioned vocals, swampy guitar work, and a groove-heavy rhythm section. Since forming her band in 2014, Fish has released a string of acclaimed albums on the Vizztone Label Group, quickly establishing herself as one of the most compelling voices in modern blues.
Her debut album Down In The Dirt earned her the 2016 Sean Costello Rising Star Blues Blast Music Award, followed by her sophomore release Free, which won the 2019 Blues Music Award for Best Emerging Artist Album and debuted at #6 on the Billboard Blues Chart. Fish’s most recent album, Kingdom (2024), has been described as “a journey of faith, redemption, and hope against a backdrop of chaos and upheaval.” The record reached #1 on the Roots Music Report Blues Rock chart, with four singles charting simultaneously in the Top 20, including “Mockingbird,” which hit #1 on SiriusXM Bluesville’s Rack of Blues Countdown for two consecutive weeks.
Amanda Fish has toured extensively across the U.S. and Canada, performing at legendary venues such as Buddy Guy’s Legends, Ground Zero Blues Club, and Knuckleheads, as well as major festivals nationwide. She currently resides in Nashville and is touring in support of Kingdom.
Opening the evening is Jerm Theory, whose blues-rock sound and high-energy performances have been earning a growing regional following.
Bishop Hill Creative Commons invites music lovers to kick off the new year with a night of soulful, high-powered blues rock in an intimate, community-centered setting.
