The Sizzling Strings are a dynamic family ensemble "who do it all!" They are comprised of seven talented children, all classically trained, 12 stringed instruments with their Mother at the piano and their Father on the guitar. They offer a quick-paced entertaining show, full of fun and memorable oldies, rousing fiddle tunes sprinkled with engaging gospel and classical pieces. The Jensen family provide their audiences with a refreshing musical fare with popular pieces everyone will recognize. In their theater show, the first half includes songs from famous shows like "Phantom of the Opera" and "The Sound of Music" and classical pieces like the "Hungarian Dance No. 5" by Brahms. Their second half features American favorites from "Yankee Doodle" and "New York, New York" to fiddle tunes like "Orange Blossom Special" and "Wabash Canonball."  It's a very entertaining show with such variety that it will please audiences of all ages and diverse musical interests.

The Jensen Family have been captivating audiences throughout the western United States as well as around their home town of Springville, Utah. They have been blessed to tour Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Closer to home, they have performed at family venues such as the Utah State Fair, Thanksgiving Point, Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City, Young Family Farms, Utah County Fair, Springville Museum of Art and The Provo Pioneer Day Extravaganza. Their proudest achievement to date is having been chosen to perform at the opening ceremonies of the American String Teachers Association convention last March.

About the Entertainers

It all started when young Joshua, at age 5, used sticks in the back yard to help him imagine he was playing the violin. Not long after, he insisted that his mother, Sherri, find a violin teacher by handing her the phone and sitting down on the couch to wait for her to call one. She did, and thus began the blessed journey that pulled the rest of his brothers and sisters into the musical world in which they now live which includes 42 lessons per week among 7 children, practice for 2 hours a day individually and 1 to 6 hours a day as a group. The children's current ages are Joshua 15, Jossalyn 14, Ty 12, Kenna 11, Tennyson 9, Caleb 5, and Kassandra who is 4 years old and has just learned her first song on the Viola . Sherri, who is a masterful keyboardist, once hoped she would be blessed with pianists like herself, but not long after Joshua started violin lessons the rest took up various string instruments and the rest is history.

Let The Sizzling Strings take you back to "the good 0l' times" while brightening your outlook on the future.
