Bio
Merseyside-born, singer/songwriter Mark McOnie was the catalyst for uniting a quintet of internationally experienced musicians known collectively as Jensen Electric. On the hunt for like-minded souls to help launch his debut album A Tree So Tall [2008], one happy coincidence led to another and eventually a beautiful collaborative accident found a home.
Jensen Electric features McOnie on vocals and guitar, Nic Pallett on lead guitar, Scott Jackson on drums and percussion, Rod Collins on bass and Karl Deitz on keys. Drawing on a rich vein of alt-rock influences (Neil Young, Wilco, The Band and The Jayhawks) Jensen Electric live shows are luscious, energetic adventures.
McOnie's heartfelt, journeyman songwriting is complimented by seductive, inviting instrumentation from a talented foursome that at the flip of a coin shift from subtle and humble to plain old raunchy.
The band has been racking up stage time at The Espy, Pure Pop Records, The Wesley Ann, Penny Blacks, The Retreat, The Edinburgh Castle and launched their debut single ‘Vivid Sky’ at Manchester Lane on 3 September 2009.
‘Vivid Sky’ and ‘The Easy Way Out’ have both featured on RRR shows such as The Breakfasters, Incoming, Vital Bits, Off The Record and Local and or General to name a few.
