Sam C. Jones - Actor/Musician

t 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. In 2020 Sam returned to DC and formed the Sinners, a rock n’ roll-country outfit comprised of some of the best musicians in the area. With an all star band to make his music shine, Sam jumped head first into the classic and alt-country genres, releasing songs such as "Pour Me Another", a reflective and sorrowful homage to Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, and "I Don't Want to Be An American Anymore," a Woody Guthrie style protest song in reaction to the January 6th, 2021 insurrection in Washington DC. The song went viral online and Sam has become an unlikely troubadour, drawing comparisons to Woody Guthrie, Arlo Guthrie, Yusuf / Cat Stevens and Phil Ochs, with fans begging for more protest songs reminiscent of these great songwriters. The Sinners’ debut LP, Overdue Confession II, is a deep dive into Sam's love for the Americana genre, and earned over 15k streams on Spotify during the first weekend since releasing on December 3, 2021. It showcases his versatility as a band leader, songwriter, and vocalist, as well as his band’s playful back and forth in their arrangements. With everything from blazing guitar solos and hard rock screams to stripped down ballads about the sea, Sam C. Jones is an Americana artist who's rise you don't want to miss.
