Andreas S Jensen
Ramsgate
Andreas S Jensen is a Ramsgate based Danish singer-songwriter, producer and musician.
Three singles from Andreas’ solo debut album Disturbed where supported by BBC6 Music and received radio play in the UK and abroad, with several hundred stations playing his songs. The Disturbed album also received many great reviews. On the back of the album Andreas played a 10 day solo US Tour with dates in California and Texas, a sold out Auckland, New Zealand gig, a tour of northern Germany, and a number og gigs in the UK and in his native Denmark.
Andreas’ lock down releases was a clear departure from the indie rock inspired debut. The single Love & War was written with Texas writer Dustin Welch while second single Ordinary People featured train-beat drums, banjo and double bass and is best described as being reminiscent of Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and The Byrds -with a fresh, new melodic approach.
Andreas’ upcoming album (to be released in 2023) is inspired by his many visits to The House Of Songs in Austin, Texas. The songs are packed with Americana and Alt Country influences, picked up through co-writes with local Texas writers many of whom contributes to the album with Texas style slide and fingerpicking guitar, bar piano and back ground vocals.
