My Shadow Pages is the solo debut album released by American musician Nick Hexum, best known as lead singer of the band 311.
This surprise album was announced via social media on July 18, 2013, and was released on October 1, 2013. It was a very different approach to music than the hard rock of 311, instead being influenced by soft jazz and jam band styles. The cover art is reminiscent of the influential designs of Reid Miles for jazz label Blue Note records of the 1950s and ‘60s.
Hexum brought on several musicians to his project, whether for writing or for performing. His live band included his multi-instrumentalist brother Zack Hexum, drummer Gary Novak, keyboardist Luke Miller, and bassist Andrés Rebellón from Colombia (who Hexum discovered at a Musicians Institute audition).[1]
As for writing this album, Hexum wrote with his bandmates as well as Sam Hollander, Tim Pagnotta, Kevin Griffin, and more.[2]
