The New York Times called Fish “an impressive blues guitarist who sings with sweet power” and “one of the genre’s most promising young talents.”  Her hometown paper The Kansas City Star noted, “Samantha Fish has kicked down the door of the patriarchal blues club” and observed that the young artist “displays more imagination and creativity than some blues veterans exhibit over the course of their careers.”

The Amboy Dukes and their guitar player Ted Nugent had already recorded several albums and were a staple of the Midwest rock scene at the time. When the Amboy Dukes broke up, Nugent’s road manager (Phil Nicholson) contacted St. Holmes about auditioning for Nugent’s project as lead singer. St. Holmes joined Ted Nugent, former Amboy Dukes bassist Rob Grange and drummer Cliff Davies to release Nugent’s self-titled debut album in 1975. St. Holmes remained in Nugent’s band until 1978.
 
In 1979 Derek joined up with Ted Nugent’s bass player Rob Grange, ex-Montrose drummer Denny Carmassi to form St. Paradise. They released one self-titled album for Warner Brothers. He then teamed up with Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford forming the highly successful Whitford/St. Holmes Band.
 
St. Holmes joined the Michael Schenker Group for Built To Destroy, and also contributed to the live follow-up, Rock Will Never Die. Derek released Then and Now, a collection of many St. Holmes’ rock material and stars in the new Documentary Hired Gun Today Derek St Holmes tours the world performing and recording.
 
James Montgomery- lead singer, harp, frontman: When blues legend James Montgomery plays the harmonica, he “brings it on home”. Whether it’s recording with Kid Rock, sitting in with Gregg Allman, or fronting his hot band of thirty years, Montgomery plays with authority. While growing up in Detroit he learned first-hand from the masters – James Cotton, John Lee Hooker, and Jr. Wells – at the legendary “Chessmate.” Over the years, he’s carried on in the tradition and continues to be a vital presence in blues as one of the most dynamic performers on the scene.
