Tony Middleton March 22, 2011

Having sung for years as an R&B, Soul, and Jazz performer in New York, London, Paris, and more recently a tour of Northern Soul in Wales, Tony is now singing with his pianist Jesse Elder, a three-time ASCAP award winner and his quartet. Tony, besides being the lead singer of the Willows, ('Church Bells May Ring') has also been a songwriter and arranger. He's appeared on Broadway as the lead in 'Cabin in the Sky' and was the featured singer in 'Purlie.' As a soloist, he has performed with and is known by many world-class performers. His big voice is sometimes compared to Joe Williams, Arthur Prysock, Lou Rauls and Ray Charles, yet his range is more complex with his deep and sultry tones. In addition, Tony's greatest strengths are his sense of phrasing and interpretation of lyrics.
