Biography

“Country-rock fusion”; “60’s era vocals“; “Moonshine Rock”; No matter what style you hear from Sam C. Jones, there’s no doubt his music is timeless. Virginia born and raised on a steady diet of hard rock and show tunes, Sam discovered his love for country music while playing Elvis Presley in the hit play Million Dollar Quartet. He’s since become a genre-bending songwriter, known for his vulnerable lyrics, big guitars, and haunting, heartfelt melodies. Sam’s debut EP Call Your Friends - a folk-rock effort about his childhood, lost love, and slaying mighty dragons - dropped on his 26th birthday and led to his first solo tour in Northern California. 

Sam’s most recent single "Pour Me Another" - featuring Americana darling Hannah Jane Kile - is an old-school country homage to Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. Pour Me Another is about the sacrifices artists make pursuing their dreams, and the many regrets they carry. 

Sam has supported national touring acts such as Ryan Cabrera, Lincoln Durham and Creed Bratton of The Office. He likes long walks on the beach, whiskey neat, and playing with dogs.
