Sam Sherwood is a guitar-slinging, nature-loving, frisbee golf-playing actor from the Finger Lakes. His understated confidence, tall stature and folk tenor voice have made him a natural fit in roles like Jimmy Ray (Bright Star), Guy (Once) and Tully in Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville.

Sam’s talents on guitar, mandolin, banjo and bass have also made him one of the most sought after actor-musicians in the industry, having performed in over 50 such productions across the United States and Europe. He has portrayed many of the musical greats of the 20th century including Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, John Lennon and Buddy Holly. Sam has simultaneously served as music director on many of these productions including Ring of Fire, Million Dollar Quartet and Heartbreak Hotel.
