In 2013, Jensen played some live shows with In Flames for Niclas Engelin, when Engelin was unable to play, due to becoming a father.[7]
As of 2021 Jensen serves as a part time touring guitarist for The Halo Effect (band) replacing Jesper Stromblad when he is unable to play due to ongoing illness. [8]
