Jeff Jensen Band performing Can't Believe We're Through LIVE at DittyTV
Growing up listening to
50's, 60's and 70's
Rock --N-Roll, the
Blues was always just a step away. So when
Jeff started playing guitar at age 11 the significance of blues was overwhelming.
Flirting with different styles of music like
Rock and Roll,
Funk,
Punk Rock and
Jazz through high school, Jeff landed his first blues gigs at age 19 as a guitarist.
Soon after he was hired to front a southern
California blues band that gigged a few times a month from
San Diego to
Ventura. In
2003 Jeff Jensen and
Chris Sabie founded the
Santa Clarita Blues
Society. Jeff and Chris travelled to
Memphis for the 2004
IBC. Jeff came home from that a member of the
Blues Foundation and fully charged and inspired to form his own band. May 2004 the Jeff Jensen
Band was born. From 2005-2009 the band performed
200+ shows per year. During this time the Jeff Jensen Band was in the
2005,
2006, and
2007 IBC's, regularly performed west coast blues festivals and opened for
BB King at part of his 80th
Birthday tour. In 2007 the band's debut
album "Self-Titled" (Swingsuit
Records) was released. "Self-Titled" received great reviews form several respected Blues publications. "Self-Titled is a tour-de-force debut release by a band that breathes new life into the blues scene. The themes may be tried and true, but they are delivered with a fresh dose of enthusiasm form one tight band." --
Dave Ruthenberg (
Living Blues, 2007)
Album also hit
The Living Blues Charts and the
Roots Music Charts that year. 2008 Jeff was asked to produce longtime friend and musical associate
John Parker's album. This was very challenging and emotion because by this time
John was quickly losing his 5 year battle with cancer. The album was completed just weeks before John passed. It was released a few months later and contains some inspirational blues songs about his battle that serve to this day as anthems for several
America Cancer Society events around the country. 2009 Jeff Jensen Band released their second album "
I'm Coming Home". This album was a big production featuring the very tight "Pandas
Horns" and lots of special guests. It hit the Roots Music
Charts in 2009 as well. And is still played on hundreds of blues formatted radio stations. After moving to Memphis in
2011, Jeff spent 2 years as Harmonica
Sensation Brandon Santini's guitar player and
Musical Director. Jeff is now touring as Jeff Jensen Band and promoting his
2013 release "road worn and ragged". You can hear Jeff Jensen on
Sirius XM Satellite Radio and 200+ other radio stations around the
United States as well as stations in
Denmark,
England,
Canada,
Australia,
Germany,
Argentina,
Belgium and more.
