Thor Jensen – Album Release Show

Combining masterful technique and raw emotion, Thor Jensen’s music is equally powerful and gritty yet evocative and thoughtful.

In the past 10 years, Thor Jensen has traveled a lot of different roads. From chasing buses in a grease powered van, playing Americana music with Quiet Life and opening for the likes of Dr. Dog, Portugal. The Man, The Head and the Heart, and Shovels and Rope. Then onto joining the Stephane Wrembel Band, playing both Stephane’s original music and the music of Django Reinhardt, performing at Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, the Lyon Opera House and touring all over the world, all the while immersing himself in New York’s early jazz scene. He’s toured Europe with world/roots band Hazmat Modine, and dipped back into early jazz a bit with Sweet Megg, playing both stateside and throughout Russia. His new record – “Harlem Valley” – is out on May 13, and is a collection of music written while living on a creek in Wassaic, New York. Joining him on stage will be long time friends and collaborators Nick Anderson, and Ari Folman-Cohen.
