Sam C. Jones - Actor/Musician

“He’s gotta think about his whole life before he goes on that stage.”

Happy opening to the cast and crew of Million Dollar Quartet and ! Shoutout to for snapping some dressing room shots in my favorite Carl costume to date.

I proudly present my latest single, "I Don't Even Really Want to Fall In Love With You," an earworm of a tune lovingly concocted with my friends Brian Michael Henry and Michael McCoy Reilly on a writing retreat in Moriah, New York, in the spring of 2025.

I didn't want to make a song about the past with IDERWTFILWY. I wanted to write a song about two people who HAVE NOT gotten together yet. They’ve both been hurt and are scared despite their attraction to each other. Maybe they’ve been friends for a while. Not a lifelong friendship, but one that neither thought would be romantic.

It would mean the world if you listened, and would mean even more if you supported the tune on Bandcamp!

12 pictures for twelve months with my Crochet queen 🧶 ; my Halloween loving black cat 🐈‍⬛ ; my adventurous part-time Mainer 🦞; my favorite person to have breakfast, lunch and dinner (and ice cream 🍦) with; the most giving, thoughtful and hard-working woman I know 💃🏽.

In twelve months, I have learned two things: 1. I love and am incredibly grateful for her, and 2. We’re pretty dang cute. Happy one year anniversary, my love! ❤️❤️❤️

One more Buddy pic for good measure 🤓 🎸

I’ve got some music and theatre news coming in the next couple of days. Very excited for sorry new material and shows coming up, so stay tuned 😉

Happy closing the the company of Buddy: the Buddy Holly Stoy at .zone ! What a wonderful group of people to share this stage with and to step into this icon’s shoes. Buddy helped me step into myself as a leader and find some artistic fulfillment I had been chasing, and I am very grateful for this team for supporting me and following my lead as I navigated this titan of a role for the first time. I sincerely hope I get to meet Buddy again.

Til then, I’ve been Buddy Holly. Thank you fellas, thank you everybody. Goodnight. Bye! 👋

A very kind review of our production of BUDDY: The Buddy Holly Story here at TheatreZone. Immensely proud of the cast and crew of this one:

Review: BUDDY: THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY at TheatreZone Jukebox musicals often rely heavily on nostalgia, weaving familiar songs together with a simple narrative. BUDDY: THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY largely follows that formula, but TheatreZone’s current production succeeds thanks to its energetic performances - especially its outstanding lead.

One more week of making this face and many like it at .zone 👓 🎸

Happiest of Valentine’s Day to the one and only ❤️ This past year has been full of nothing but joy and adventures thanks to this unbelievable woman. I love supporting you, growing with you, laughing with you, and loving you. Words are hardly enough, so here’s some photos to show the world how I see you

Oh Boy! 🤓 🎸

Super excited to finally announce this one. I’m heading back to .zone to star in and music direct their production of BUDDY: the Buddy Holly Story. I’ve been working on this music and script for a while now and let me just say…I’m overjoyed. I’ve been circling this show for a long time in the actor-musician world, and I can’t believe I get to play this iconic, funny, and brilliantly talented rock n roller. If you’re in or around Naples, FL you’d better come see us!

Happy Bandcamp Friday! I am so excited to bring Acoustic Vol 2 for your listening pleasure.

These songs were recorded at the now closed-for-business record shop Leesta Vall in the fall of 2023. Leesta Vall specialized in creating one-of-a-kind, personalized 7” recordings direct to vinyl, which captured a unique take. I was also joined by on Fidel for the songs “Minnesota” and “100 Dollars”. However, when we went to record this session, they were low on 7”’s and we were forced to record digitally, and they were gracious enough to send me the master digital recording of all of the tracks we recored that day. With the permission of the original owners of these one of a kind 7” albums, I’ve decided to release one of each of the 5 songs I recorded that day. There was a lot of magic in the air that day making these one of a kind recordings, and I hope you enjoy listening to this time capsule of my musical journey from that time.

This bandcamp Friday, 100% of sales go directly to the artists - meaning, bandcamp does not take a cut. My entire digital discography is for sale for a little over $20, and I am still raising money for the people of Minneapolis in my “Minnesota - Mutual Aid Rerelease”. Thanks so much for listening and supporting independent artists. Enjoy bandcamp Friday!
