The Blues Experience with Johnny Jensen
and Crystal Shawanda
''Johnny and his band took the stage at 7 pm and played a setlist full of Blues favorites and some original songs. It was clear that this kid has tremendous talent as both a guitarist and vocalist. He kept the audience rocking for about an hour and everyone was impressed with the young man’s skills. After his performance, the attendees were talking with each other and praising the show they had just witnessed. If you get a chance to catch a Johnny Jensen show you won’t be disappointed!''

''When Johnny Jensen was two years old, his parents gifted him a blue Smurf guitar. Now, this wasn’t one of those press a button and it plays an obnoxiously loud tune that drives parents nuts guitar — nope, this baby came to this toddler equipped with four strings and no instructions.
So imagine John and Gina Jensen’s surprise when their young son actually began to play a song, or two, or three — tunes he had heard around his house, or at the “stage” to be found at Jensen’s Twin Palm Cottages & Marina Resort, where Uncle Jimmy and his band (The Troublestarters) would often play on weekend evenings, among locals and guests with Pine Island Sound in the background.
Yup. It all started for Johnny Jensen not much after he was walking and talking. And today, at all of 14 years of age (he’ll turn 15 in September), this young man who only learned to read music a few years ago has found his passion — the blues — and is hoping to finish recording his first blues album of original music by the end of this summer.''
