About Sam C. Jones: Sam C. Jones has been chasing his dream of being a rockstar since he was a kid, and has no plans of stopping.

After a few years of hard work acting in theatre around the country - The Sacramento Theatre Company, Davis Shakespeare Festival, Hippodrome State Theatre, Phoenix Theatre Indianapolis - Sam is temporarily hanging up his acting hat to pursue his first love: songwriting. Focused on storytelling and heartbreaking melodies, Sam's music has been described as "moonshine rock", inspired by folk, blues, country and even a little of his musical theatre roots. Sam’s debut album Call Your Friends, available on all streaming platforms later this year, is the culmination of song written about his childhood, lost love, his struggles with social anxiety, and slaying mighty dragons. For anyone who loves Frank Turner, The Mountain Goats or even Elvis Presley, Sam is the newest Sacramento artist you definitely don’t want to miss.

About the concert: CALL YOUR FRIENDS - the concert - will showcase 15 of Sam’s original songs sung by him and other local favorites (Hannah Jane Kile, David Taylor, and Sidney Rae Gonzales). Backed by the incredible Casey Groat (Fashionista Boyfriend) on drums and Zack Davis on bass, CALL YOUR FRIENDS will leave you dancing, laughing, and calling up your loved ones for one more round at the bar.
