Peach Jam Podcast: The Page Brothers Band - Adel, GA

 

The Peach State is home to an abundance of musical talent, and this week on Peach Jam, host Jeremy Powell welcomes a band that embodies the rich musical traditions of Georgia. Hailing from Adel, Ga., The Page Brothers Band — comprised of Travis and Dakota Page — joins the show to share their story, their sound, and their soulful approach to music.

 

A Sound Born in the South

Describing themselves as “a band of brothers with a swampy, Southern sound rooted in bluesy rock ‘n’ roll and Georgia soul,” The Page Brothers Band delivers music that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. From their small-town upbringing to their journey in honing their craft, their passion for storytelling through song shines in this intimate conversation.

Jeremy Powell kicks off the episode by highlighting the band's unique blend of influences. Dakota, whose deep baritone voice immediately sets him apart, recalls how he spent his childhood imitating Johnny Cash, while Travis, the lead guitarist, credits his first guitar — gifted by his grandparents — as the beginning of his musical journey. The brothers grew up surrounded by music, with family members who wrote poetry, screenplays, and songs, making creativity a natural part of their lives.

 

From Small Towns to Big Stages

Adel, Ga., may not be a bustling music hub, but it shaped the Page Brothers' journey in meaningful ways. As Travis and Dakota explain, the local music scene required them to look beyond their hometown to places like Valdosta and Tifton to find gigs and connect with fellow musicians. One such venue, The Lamplighter Pub in Tifton, became their musical home base — a place where they could refine their skills and build a following.

Despite the challenges of growing up in a small town with few performance opportunities, the brothers embraced their roots and let those experiences shape their music. Dakota, who started out writing poetry, sees songwriting as his greatest strength, while Travis’ skillful guitar playing adds depth and emotion to their sound.

 

Making Music Full-Time

For Dakota, music is more than a passion — it’s his full-time job. Over the years, he’s worked in construction, fast food, and various other industries, but he’s always felt a calling to music. Meanwhile, Travis balances music with his role as a co-owner of String Theory Music in Adel, a job that allows him to stay connected to his craft even when he’s off stage.

Though their journeys have taken different paths, the ultimate goal remains the same: to make music that resonates. As Dakota puts it, they aim to create songs that “make disturbed people feel comfortable and comfortable people feel disturbed.” Their music isn’t about chasing trends — it’s about honesty, emotion, and connection.

 

A Show Full of Soul

Throughout the episode, The Page Brothers Band treats listeners to live performances filled with raw emotion and storytelling. Whether it’s songs of heartache, redemption, or personal growth, their lyrics reflect real-life experiences, making their music deeply relatable. Their performances showcase not only their individual talents but also the undeniable chemistry between two brothers who have spent years making music together.

As the conversation wraps up, Jeremy asks Travis to brag about his brother. With heartfelt admiration, Travis praises Dakota’s kindness, generosity, and uncanny ability to craft the perfect lyric. It’s a touching moment that encapsulates the deep bond between these two musicians — one that translates seamlessly into their music.
