With prominent influences such as The Band, Waylon, Willie, and Gram Parsons, The Morning Pages, who originally hail from Nashville, Austin, Tulsa, San Francisco, Ohio, and Massachussettes, bring a deep, rural passion to the New York City scene. Alongside contemporaries like The Felice Brothers and Blitzen Trapper, the band blends the speed and sophistication of the city with the organic depth of the country. Their debut EP, The Company You Keep, released in the summer of 2007, perked the ears of critics, with The Tripwire declaring: "The sound that these guys got onto tape comes from the mighty heavens. It's like American Beauty slept with Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris while cheating on The Band's version of 'I Shall Be Released.'" . The Morning Pages are:

Grant Maxwell: lead vocals/rhythm guitar
Matt Stoulil: bass guitar
Ben Arons: drums/harmony vocals
Jonathan Kemp: lead guitar
Kendra MacDevitt: harmony vocals/fiddle/percussion
Rick Fox: keyboards/accordion
