Little Jenny & the Blue Beans are a sultry Blues Rock act from Scandinavian. The band was first formed in 1997 and since then their career has seen them feature at many of the major European festivals including: Belgium Rn’B Fesitval, Peer; Copenhagen Blues Festival, Denmark; Åmåls Bluesfestival, Sweden and the Lahti Blues Festival, Finland. They also regularly tour in France as well as Scandinavia and have recently begun to break through in the United Kingdom. Little Jenny herself has been the recipient of two of the top Swedish blues awards: the Jan Rosenqvist award in 1998 and the Åmal blues festival award in 2001. She is now considered to be one of Sweden’s greatest blues harmonica players. Little Jenny has a fine blues pedigree having toured with the likes of Eric Bibb between 1990 and 1999. Other career highlights include her performing at the Mustique Blues Festival with the English blues diva Dana Gillespie. Alongside Little Jenny, all the band members have years of experience backing a large number of Sweden’s most famous artists and enjoy endorsement from some of Scandinavia’s top industry players.

So what can you expect from a Little Jenny and the Blue Beans gig? They play a suggestive bluesrock mix. Harmonica and guitar duels are common interspersed with refreshing drum solos when least expected. 90% of the songs are originals and their philosophy is that they are best experienced LIVE - the connection between the audience and the band being the most essential element in their playing.

Little Jenny and the Blue Beans – Press Quotes

“It would be absolutely no surprise to see a band of this calibre on some big stages in the near future and I can picture prima donnas in more than a few all-male bands quaking in the wings while this dedicated, selfless team rocks the joint.”

Dave Kingsbury, Blues in Britain 2006.

”Little Jenny & The Blue Beans shows both a love to play and a lot of feeling for the blues…a hot mix of new and old presented by a dammed good band.”

Kristiand Hjort NLT

It was a magical journey…revealing a loaded atmosphere that in the end couldn’t be compared to anything I’ve experienced in Boras… the girls played in another division…an intense physical feeling not experienced since the séances with Mayall and the Stones in Clubs in London in the 60’s … I doubt anything like this can be repeated”

Rolf Haglund Boråstidningen

A Swedish queen of the blues, yes she is, Little Jenny who together with her Blue Beans performed a great Blues evening. Full house and a definite success ...the blue beans inspired us with their presence on stage and through their communication with the audience. Yes, Little Jenny & her very musical girls played and sang great.

Lennart Wikström Grebbestad

Little Jenny & the Blue Beans played extremely well together and their good mood shined through the whole concert. You couldn’t do other than lean back and enjoy when Lotta Partapuoli played wonderful Jimi Hendrix influenced guitar. It’s easy to understand why Jenny is called Sweden’s first blueslady. She has got an unbelievable voice. When the drummer, Justina Lakin, played one of the best drumsolos I ever heard, at the end of the concert, the success was obvious. The band was celebrated by the audience…….they shouted and applauded.

Christian Thunarf Provinstidningen Dalsland

”Blues can be really boring. Like when some bands plays dull boogie and watery beer shuffles one after another so that it feels like an insult to the genuine and primitive force in the blues. Little Jenny & the Blue Beans is not one of these bands. No these lady’s offer you a heavy, skilful and varying blues. Jenny has a strong voice with a hot vibrato. But it’s the guitarist Lotta Partapuoli who dominates the show. She attacks the electric guitar with an intense and heartbreaking feeling that completely catches my breath… This is tough mean and sexy. And it’s blues as it should be:...hot, sensitive and passionate.
