Serge Gendron, (born February 19, 1967), better known by the stage name Skip Jensen, is a Canadian singer-songwriter and cartoonist raised in Lachine, Montreal.
Jensen began his musical career in 1996 with the group Scat Rag Boosters, which was known for its special brand of rock 'n' roll garage music. The group existed until 2004, releasing a dozen singles, a few songs on different compilations, and one official album. Jensen also played in Stack O'Lees and The Wrong Doers, and from 2004 until 2007 he played drums in Demon's Claws.
In 2000, Jensen began his solo career as a one-man band called Skip Jensen & His Shakin' Feet and released several singles on European labels. His first solo album, Abscond, was published in 2005. His second, The Spirit of the Ghost, came out in 2011. The album was mixed by Orson Presence, former member of The Monochrome Set.
He has toured in Canada, the United States, Europe, and China. His next album will be released in 2013, with Johann Schlager on drums and Shawn Cotton on bass.
Jensen started creating comics and illustrations around 2006. He contributed to the comic Justine in 2009. His first cartoon was published in Trip Number 7 in 2012. The comic tells the story of the 1972 Blue Bird Café fire in Montreal.
Jensen is currently working on an autobiographical graphic novel about his childhood in Lachine.
