Bio

JOHN “Morty” MORTENSEN, raised in Jacksonville, was weaned on AM country radio and records from Disneyland, Peter Pan and Pickwick.  At age 15, a new neighbor with a guitar prompted Mort to solicit Santa for a bass guitar from the Sears Wish Book which quickly lead to countless hours of play, stop, rewind, stop, play, repeat.  This, coupled with a penchant for bedroom jam sessions rocking the gamut of the Columbia House music catalog, provided the foundation for a lifelong obsession. Most notable locally, Morty has manned the groove for soul-jam family band, Parker Urban Band and powerhouse love-drug vendor, Mama Blue.
