Arley Owens, Jr. (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Keys, and Bass) has
been writing and playing songs since his early teens. He turned down a recording contract at 17 after being informed that
the producer would decide which of Arley’s songs would go on his album, and what musicians would accompany him.
Arley gave him the Friendly California Wave and has detested the business side of the recording industry ever since.

And then there were two . . .
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 the band and smiles down from heaven at his and Arley's commitment
to stay after it for duration come hell or high water after regrouping two years after she went home.

Other members came and went through the years, but Torn
Page eventually solidified with the addition of . . .
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.
