Testimonials & Reviews
“Jay Middleton is a timeless performer. It’s rare to find an artist with such a memorable singular voice …I have often said about Jay, that if the label industry was still as relevant and active as they once were, that they would be fighting over him. Jay Middleton does not “sound” like anyone, he sounds like Jay and once you hear him you will find him instantly recognizable and unforgettable.” – Charley Lochtefeld, Club Fox
“…superb musicianship and winning arrangements….He’s a soul singer who gives every ounce of himself…Middleton has enough lung power to carry any tune by himself..his unabashed emotion comes through in every line. The vocal phrasing is fantastic…he knows how to take control of the song without ever putting the music in the backseat…I find it mighty impressive that, after four decades of performing, he sounds like a young man and he’s still working at the top of his game.” – Trace Whittaker, POP Icon Magazine
“A seamless evocation of timeless musical values. The deeply considered, wickedly detailed work of mature talent…artists not trying to be anything they’re not, crafting music made to last. Soulful but sophisticated, sturdy songs with instantly accessible melodies that give vocalist Middleton a platform from which he can truly soar.” – Joel Selvin, SF Chronicle Music Critic
“Jay Middleton is a familiar face to Bay Area audiences, having most recently fronted the local party band All Star Jukebox for the past two decades, with a long performing career before that.” – RWC Pulse
“He sounds inspired, brimming with life, and locks into the groove like a master…a percussive and ever soulful vocalist. His ability to change gears from one song to the next while retaining a core sound is one of the strengths of Middleton’s voice. He is working at the peak of his considerable powers and his vocal presence captivates the listener’s attention” – Garth Thomas, Hollywood Digest
“Jay Middleton is a name that may be unfamiliar to many but for over four decades he’s performed many times with his bands at some of the best clubs and venues around, and shared stages with renowned musical names…even if he is almost three decades removed from his last Top 40 hit in the United States, you can’t tell. He sings with the vigor of a much younger man..polished yet deeply emotional musical arrangements” – Heather Savage, Top Buzz Magazine
“We need voices such as his more than ever before…Middleton, despite his many years as an active vocalist, sings like a man reborn.” – Anne Hollister, The Indie Source
