The Jensen Connection

MySpace Layouts
The Jensen Connection was started in Iowa City, Iowa, by Emmett Sheehan and Matt Skinner in 2002. Since then, the band has built a following with their energy, musicianship, and strong songwriting, playing all over Iowa and the Midwest. This quintet brings solid grooves, energetic jams and powerful, soulful vocals to the stage. Loaded with original material, the band has an versatile sound that mixes rock and funk with a shot of piano bar blues. The band has one album, DISTRACTED, an independent effort released in September 2005. They have already started work on a second album, hoping to be finished in the summer of 2006. They have played with national acts such as Liquid Soul, The Big Wu, Colonel Bruce Hampton and the Codetalkers, Oteil Burbridge and the PeaceMakers, and Robert Walter. They also share close friendships with regional acts such as Euforquestra, Dave Zollo, Public Property, and the Gglitch. Called "tough to label but easy to enjoy", the band hopes to bring good, meaningful music to new ears for many years.
