SONG PREMIERE: Tommy Marz Nails Stealers Wheel Classic “Stuck In The Middle With You”

Singer/songwriter Tommy Marz and leader of the venerable Tommy Marz Band has announced his new solo independent EP, Chasing Light, will be released on Wednesday, September 23rd.

Marz recorded and filmed the song in quarantine after feeling a sense of shock watching what’s going on in the world, specifically with cyber-bullying. As he explains, “I recorded this song at a time when I was spending much more time on social media and I was disappointed, and in some cases appalled, at the way people were treating each other. Many people are passionate about the issues they believe in and they absolutely should be. But to wish death upon others or people’s loved ones crosses the line and at some point, checking our morality may need to become a priority before it’s too late to turn back. So, I observed from afar and truly felt stuck in the middle of what was occurring online, seeing both sides of the political spectrum attempt to destroy one another. I’ve always been a fan of the song, but it seemed to speak to me in a different way this time around and I decided to put my own passion into this wonderful song.”

Glide is thrilled to premiere Tommy Marz’ quarantine version of the Stealers Wheel classic “Stuck In The Middle With You.” Marz offers a gritty take where his howling vocals and creative instrumental ideas give this timeless nugget a 2020 shot in the arm.

Chasing Light, Marz’s first solo EP in over six years, features five original songs in addition to this version of “Stuck In The Middle With You” which opens the collection. All original tracks were written and produced by Marz, who also performs all of the instrumentation, with additional production from Jason Tucker. Though rooted in alt-rock, Chasing Light reveals a more singer-songwriter side of Marz, who found inspiration for the material from artists such as John Mayer and Harry Styles. The EP includes “Summer Bummer,” an anti-love song that touches upon feelings of loneliness, the personal “Stray,” written shortly after his dad passed away, and “Chasing Light,” which was inspired by a memorable trip to Las Vegas.
