Middletown play a largely acoustic brand of folk-ish alternative country similar to
the Continental Drifters, whose
Peter Holsapple functions as a sort of unofficial fifth member on
Middletown's 2002 debut album
Welcome to the Family. The group consists of bassist and multi-instrumentalist Tad Armstrong, keyboardist Stacia Demos (who most often plays accordion), guitarist and pedal steel player Aaron Stroup, and drummer Gonzalo Dias. Armstrong, Demos, and Stroup write songs separately; all four sing harmonies. ~ Stewart Mason
