MEMBER PROFILES


Stan Middleton
Vocals

Rumored to be the love child of Etta James and Shecky Green, Stan Middleton is hard to define. Stir in equal parts Lowell George, Frank Zappa, John Candy, James Brown, add a pinch of Taj Mahal and you start to get a picture of this larger-than-life performer. Often accused of selectively breeding his bandmates, musical voodoo and given to occasional fits of dwarf tossing, Stan's never persecuted for fakery! This is the real deal. When the big man preaches, they're saved all the way to the back row!


Charlie Middleton

Guitar / Backing Vocals

Playing professionally with his brother Stan since the age of seven, Charlie Middleton is the grease in the groove. Those been-there, done-it, down-right tasty chops give Charlie the amazing feat he displays as a natural born guitarist. "Uncle Chuck's" versatility and showmanship are yet another cornerstone in this blockbuster. Charlie and Stan's musical backgrounds are virtually the same as they have been performing together since childhood.


Joe Abbondanza

Bass Guitar / Backing Vocals

Twenty-four years ago he was one third of the power trio The Middleton Brothers and now has come full circle to be the bottom of a new product, something you just have to see to believe. Joe's back with the boys and the boys are back in town.

This man was abandoned by his people and was adopted by ferrets at a very early age and he was told, "if you play the bass, you'll always work!" So after the bite wounds healed he said it's time to get back to my brothers and hope all the other bad stuff has died down, I mean, can't we all just get around? Well, Joe has been around the block a couple of times now and then some!


Greg Johnson

Keyboard / Backing Vocals

Like the other members of the band, Greg Johnson is a veteran musician. He's played for many years in varied formats. Familiar with different styles, Greg's ability enables him to play a wide range of music. Over the years he has played in Show bands, Funk bands, worked with Touring bands and played straight ahead rock. He's recorded with some notables including several tracks with Joe Cocker. Greg's groove and his "in the pocket" style of playing makes him the ideal keyboardist for the band.


Brian Schrom
Drums

This very talented drummer is the newest member of the band. Drumming since an early age, Brian Schrom demonstrates his ability to take the band to the groove no matter what rhythmic style he's playing in. He does this time and time again, lacing subtle licks with back beat counters while continuously driving the band with style and grace.
