Samantha Fish has laid out the fourth annual Shake 'Em On Down Tour, a December run through the Southeast that the blues guitarist curates herself.

Cedric Burnside is on the bill again after travelling with the tour in 2025, and the blues rockers Daddy Long Legs join him this time, which makes the package a three-act bill rather than a headliner with support.

The run opens December 2 at Vinyl Music Hall in Pensacola, Florida, works through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee, and wraps December 20 at the Mercury Ballroom in Louisville, Kentucky.

Before any of that, Fish has a fall tour to play, with shows alongside Cody Dickinson, Sgt. Splendor and the Zac Schulze Gang, including a Texas stretch in September through New Braunfels, Dallas and Houston and Colorado dates after that.

Tickets for the December run go on sale on Friday, September 4 at 10 a.m. local time, through the usual outlets.

Four years in, Shake 'Em On Down has turned into a fixture rather than a one-off package, and the dates are logged with the rest of the rock and blues routings in the tour guide.
