History

When Jensen was growing up, his mother played the piano, and his father played the guitar. However, guitar was the instrument Jensen preferred.[1]

Jensen counts a number of musicians amongst his circle of friends - Jason Manns, Steve Carlson and Christian Kane.

Jensen talking about singing and music:

Recordings and Performances

On Screen

Supernatural

On the show, Dean has broken out in song on a number of occasions - the joke being that Dean is a terrible singer. For more on Dean's musical tastes see this article about the music of Supernatural.

2006:

2007:

2008:

  • Bell Biv DeVoe’s ‘Do Me!’ in the season 3 gag reel (video)
  • Miming to 'Eye Of The Tiger' by Survivor. (video). This aired after 4.06 Yellow Fever. This was entirely spontaneous on Jensen's part. It was set up when Jared decided not to give Jensen his cue to stop, and decided to see what would happen. Luckily, director Philip Sgriccia kept the cameras rolling.[2]

2009:

2010

2011:

2014:

2015:

  • Bob Seger's 'Night Moves' as Dean Winchester (video)

2018:

2019:

  • Kansas' 'Carry On Wayward Son' (video), and Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger' (video) at the Mardi Gras Baccus coronation.


Mr. Rhodes

Jensen's first on-screen performances were during his 8-episode stint on the sitcom Mr. Rhodes.

  • In S01E17, he sang 'You Are So Beautiful' by Joe Cocker. (video)
Days of Our Lives

Jensen's first studio-recorded performance was recorded during his time on the soap opera Days of Our Lives.

  • On the album Soap Sessions: Vol. 3, he sang backing vocals on a cover of The Beatles' 'Saw Her Standing There' with co-star Roark Critchlow. (listen here)


Dark Angel
  • For S02E11 of Dark Angel, Jensen learned 8 bars of Chopin’s Etude No. 3 in E Major for piano that his character Alec had to play. (video) Although it had been planned to completely use shots of a professional musician playing the piece, Jensen's playing was so good they also used it for most of the final cut.[1]


The Boys
  • 'Rapture’ by Blondie as Soldier Boy in S03E04 is done in the style of William Shatner who famously did a cover of 'Common People' by Pulp. (video) The Blondie official Twitter account responded gleefully to the clip.

Jensen and the Impalas

With Steve Carlson

Steve and Jensen on stage in Portland
  • Jensen sang harmonies on "Come around more Alabama" (Spot in the Corner), as well as backing vocals on "Hummingbird Billy", "Rocking Chair" and "Wasted Jamie" (Rollin' On). Jason Manns supported Jensen's backing vocals on "Rollin' On".
  • Jensen helped co-write two songs on Steve's April 2008 record, "Stripped Down", namely "Where my River flows" and "Love you or leave you".
  • Steve did an online Stageit concert on 31 Aug 2011 and said the guitar he was playing belonged to Jensen.
  • Danneel posted a photo on twitter of Steve and Jensen playing together.
  • Steve did an online StageIt concert with Jonah Dolan on 27 November 2011 and near the end Jensen joined them by playing the guitar.
  • Jensen sang lead vocal and played guitar while Steve played mandolin on the song "Angeles" on Steve Carlson's album "Sharing the Covers" released in September 2012. Hear a sample of Jensen singing "Angeles". The album is available from iTunes or Amazon. Jensen talked about it at his Meet&Greet at the Dallas 2012 con. This interview with Steve is about recording and singing with Jensen. This report with Steve talks about the album and explains why "Angeles" is only available for purchase as part of the album - because credit for that single song would have been reported as belonging to Steve and neither of them thought that was fair. The song was recorded in Vancouver, in the Supernatural ADR (sound recording) van. There is a free YouTube video for the song which was edited by Steve and part of which was recorded by Jared on his iPhone. Jensen says that Steve talked him into doing the video because Steve said 'why don’t we just shoot something, because you know that if we don’t, they’re (the fans) gonna take the song and just compile their own music video on YouTube'. source. It's one of several videos on Steve's YouTube channel.
  • Steve's latest album Different Town comes out Nov 5th, 2012. The album notes say Steve wrote the title song with Jensen in Italy.
