[311 Side Project] The Nick Hexum Quintet - My Shadow Pages (2013) - RancidPunk

In August of 2013, Hexum announced The Nick Hexum Quintet - a side-project featuring Nick Hexum, Zack Hexum, Gary Novak, Luke Miller & Andres Rebellon. The debut album from The Nick Hexum Quintet, titled "My Shadow Pages" is due October 1, 2013 on What Have You Records via a partnership with INgrooves/Fontana. The album was produced, recorded & mixed by Jim Scott (Wilco, Jason Mraz, Tom Petty, Sting). Stylistically the album is a bit of a departure from Hexum's work with 311; mixing elements of funk, jazz, pop, rock, soul, reggae and blues. In a press release for the album, Hexum said "311 is and always will be my main priority. We just launched our annual summer tour and we'll have a new 311 album coming in 2014. But The Nick Hexum Quintet album is something I've wanted to do for a long time. It's a passion project that allows me to spread my wings as a songwriter, vocalist and guitarist. I'm really excited for people to hear it."
