Why Tumblr: I meet so many great people here with common interests and musical tastes. I’ve learned a lot and really grown as a person with my blog.
If there is anything else feel free to ask. Be lucky!
Its been a while since I’ve done an about me post so here it goes:
My name is Trey and I’m guitarist in the band ‘Verge of Bliss’. I was born and raised in Atlanta GA but I really don’t have a southern accent (my parents were from the north). My favorite bands are Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd and my favorite new bands I can’t stop listening to are The Kills, Them Crooked Vultures, and Janelle Monae. Music is a big part of my life and I try to be as open to old and new music. The other big part of my life is my daughter Suzanne who is getting ready to turn 5 (time flies).
I’m separated from my wife Virginia who plays bass and sings for the band. Its not really that awkward for us to still work together. People seem to think we are brother and sister now so I guess we have the White Stripes thing going on. We are in the process of filing for divorce and should have it finalized early next year.
We will be hitting the recording studio in October and November and hope to have our album out in February 2012 if everything goes even remotely according to plan. A tour will follow. In the meantime we will be hitting cities around the southeast USA this fall.
This blog is kind of like my diary or journal and will jump all over the place. I’m self diagnosed adult ADD and always have several things going on at the same time. I’m online a lot because I’m usually in front of a computer and really appreciate the friends I have made on Tumblr since I started this blog in February 2010 and the ability to share with people who have a lot in common with me.
Yes I know I post a lot of Zeppelin and Jimmy Page…he is my favorite guitarist after all.
If there is anything you want to know, feel free to ask.
A bunch of new followers (some of them grey faces but I think we have all been invaded by these lately) and I haven’t done an about me post in ages.
My name is Trey and I’m the guitarist in the band Verge of Bliss.
We are in the process of recording our debut CD and this blog will kind of be a running diary for us, or at least that was the plan. Tumblr has turned into my favorite social network and I find myself hanging out here as often as I can so the blog is just as much a running diary of me.
Expect a lot of Led Zeppelin (they are my favorite band) and I am obsessed with the new album by The Kills (so plenty of Alison and Jamie too).
My favorite bands are:
Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, and Jimi Hendrix.
My favorite new bands are:
Them Crooked Vultures, The Kills, Janelle Monae, Mastodon, and Florence + the Machine.
I’ve been playing guitar for 16 years now and just finally starting to get the hang of it :) I post a lot I guess but it is what is on my mind….you could say I have adult ADD because of how fast I might change topics.
Have a good weekend and thanks for joining together with the band.

My name it Trey and I’m the guitarist in the band Verge of Bliss. I’ve been playing guitar for 16 years now and love Les Pauls.
At least half of my blog is dedicated to my favorite bands, so that means there is a ton of Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, and Pink Floyd.
I don’t try to spam with you too much of my band. I see to many band blogs that only post about their band and that is boring to me. Sometimes this blog gets very personal and I’m okay with that. I’ve met great people on Tumblr and will share as much as I can.
I’m separated from my wife (who is the vocalist for the band) but we still get along. Its kind of a ‘No Doubt’ situation I guess :)
I have a beautiful daughter (Suzanne Page) who is the most amazing person I’ve ever met.
I like to laugh and you all post some great comedy that makes me feel better if I’m ever down.
I pretty much live in front of a computer so if it seems like I’m on all the time, I probably am.
I’m a pack a day smoker and should probably quit, but I still enjoy it.
I’m an optimist and like to the think the best of people until they prove me wrong.
If you are still reading, then we will probably get along :)

My name is Trey and I’m the guitarist in the band Verge of Bliss based out of Atlanta GA. We’ve been together two years and although the line-up can change, the constants are me and my wife Virginia who sings and fronts the band.
My blog is mainly focused on music highlighting pictures, songs, and videos from some of my favorite bands of all-time (yes, this means a lot of Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page related posts). I also post things I find funny…and I mean laugh out loud funny, at least to me. I try to keep the blog interactive as well. One of my favorite parts about Tumblr is meeting and communicating with all of the wonderful people here.
What else….
I will post music from our band as well, sometimes from rehearsals and sometimes song ideas we are working on to get some feedback. I respect the musical opinions and tastes of hundreds of the people I follow and like hearing the good and bad of what we are doing and working on.
I’ve been on a lot this week and will post a fair amount, but I hope you enjoy it. If there is anything else you want to know, my ask box is always open.
