About Torn Page
Arley
Owens (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Keys, and Bass) has been writing and playing songs since his early teens. He turned down a recording
contract at 17 because the producer informed him that he, the producer and not Arley, would decide which of Arley’s
songs would go on which album, and would also decide which musicians would accompany him. Arley gave him the Friendly California
Wave and has detested the business side of the recording industry ever since.
Joe Prater (Percussions and Vocals) has been pounding the skins for Arley since 1971. Through
the years Joe developed into a guitarist and songwriter as well, and some of his tunes will appear in future Torn Page Albums.
His dearly departed wife, Juanita, never gave up on his and Arley’s music even though the two of them did too many times
to count. Like Arley, Joe is in it for duration now, come hell or high water.
Dan Kinser (Lead Guitar and Vocals) joined the group in 2004. Unlike Arley and
Joe, who were raised in The Lone Star State, Dan, who was born in the great state of Texas, grew up in Kansas City and
cut his teeth playing blues which he still dearly loves. Though Arley currently handles the bass chores for Torn Page, Dan
could easily take over the job. He and Arley met at Midland International Airport July 2, 2004 and Dan became the Lead Player
for the group on the last day of the same month.
