Every show is about spreading joy, and every song is written to make you feel something. Avery has the pipes of an angel that can knock anyone’s socks off, Jack is a multi-instrumentalist with a baritone voice that stands strong. Together they write all of their songs and create a new harmony that is sure to leave you impressed.

Over 150k streams across all streaming platforms in under 3 years, 6 Josie Music Award nominations, 8 Wammie award nominations, 2 ISSA nominations, a CPMA nomination, recognition from Unsigned Only two years in a row, and a World Entertainment Award win for Best Duo, are just some of the accolades that this talented young duo have collected.

They have been played on and interviewed by several radio stations including Froggy 107.7, 93.1 WPOC, 103.7 WMZQ, and Bob 94.9.




While most artists their age think they can break into the industry with a few viral TikTok videos and a catchy song, Blank Page is dedicated to creating the best music possible and playing as many shows as they can while balancing school with writing, recording, booking, promoting, and performing. They have done over 200 shows including three sold out headlining shows, and opening slots for artists like Kane Brown, Shaboozey, Maddie & Tae, Drew Baldridge, Ashley Cooke, Ingrid Andress, Chris Lane, George Birge, Chase Matthew, Devon Gilfillian and more. Blank Page can make an audience everywhere from four hour sets in basements, to Merriweather Post Pavilion in front of tens of thousands of people, fall in love with their signature sound and engaging personalities. 

The name Blank Page comes from the lyrics of a song by 2-time GRAMMY nominees, The War and Treaty. Since sharing their story on social media, the Americana Music Award winning duo have since invited Blank Page to perform with them on stage at several occasions. Not only this, but they also asked Blank Page to record background vocals for their new song ‘High Heels’ off of their 2026 record, ‘The Story of Michael and Tanya’. Blank Page is grateful to have the mentorship of such legendary artists, and they do their best to follow in those footsteps.
