New ep: Kaleidoscope, now available.
Hello, I am Scott Middleton. I began The Universal Joint back in 2018 with my brother Mike Middleton as a way to bring to life Mike's songwriting ideas. I drum, produce and occasionally sing for the band. Every member of the band past and present, and every guest performer and featured artist have their own and other projects, so look them up and follow them. Since, Mike and I released a double length LP (Introducing: The Universal Joint) a full-length LP (Julianna) and three singles/ep's (Candy, All I Can Do is Pray, and Trilogy to a Cyborg). In 2021 I met Ashley Jade and began our collaboration releasing our first ep of Ashley's songs in November of 2021 as a duo (simply titled Ashley Jade) and our second in July of 2022 (If I Only Had the Words) on which Rusty Humphrey appears on bass on five of the six tracks. Amy Townsend contributes bass on the first track (Let Go) on that second ep and officially joined the band as a contributing songwriter and instrumentalist that same month. Since then, Amy, Ashley and I released a five-song ep titled Kaleidoscope in December of 2022 with the help of featured artist, Rose Hendrix. My desire is that the four of us; Mike, Amy, Ashley and Scott, appear on future releases as a group and perhaps individually and in different combinations and will continue our love, practice and tradition of bringing on talented friends as guests and featured artists and performers.
