Other solo appearances include Washington DC’s Source Theatre, The Roslyn Spectrum Theatre in Arlington, VA, The Mabel Mercer Foundation’s Cabaret Convention at Town Hall, Symphony Space and The Metropolitan Room. The Advocate said of Spring Harvest, the debut CD on which he performs his original material, “there’s a new genius in the room… Cole Porter, Peter Allen, Tom Lehrer and Nancy Lamott must be beaming down on their collective progeny.” Lee Lessack, Lina Koutrakos and the late Nancy Lamott are just a few of the well known artists to have recorded a Rick Jensen tune.
