Former FOZZY / STUCK MOJO Guitarist MIKE MARTIN Releases “Wherever You Are” Single; Promo Video Streaming

Guitar virtuoso Mike Martin has released his new ballad single, “Wherever You Are”, digitally via iTunes and CDBaby.

In an excerpt from his blog on releasing this single Mike states, ““Wherever You Are” was written in January of 2005 as I was preparing to head to the UK and EU for the first time touring with both heavy metal bands Fozzy and Stuck Mojo for about five weeks. Being prone to OCD and feeling quite anxious about the tour preparations both logistically and mentally, in a calm moment in the chaos this ballad came out of my head!

“It was written and a demo comprised of just two acoustic guitar parts was recorded in about an hour the day before my flight overseas. I enjoyed being a heavy metal animal on the road and forgot all about this tune for a while. It was only performed one time live on the radio in Atlanta, GA as part of a promotion for a show I was performing locally later that year and was put away. Until now…

“I have delayed work on my follow-up album to 2 Of 5 for a number of years due to my touring, writing and recording commitments with other projects, so I have been going through the archives looking for songs that would be fun to release as singles while I’m finishing up my new album Drive, which I expect to release in spring of 2016.

“The title of this piece is for my wife. She has held me together through all of the roller coaster highs and lows of this music career and when I am traveling, I often look up in the sky to get my bearings and send her thoughts of missing and loving her wherever she might be at that moment in time. The release date is also perfectly timed with the 20th anniversary of our meeting. Thanks so much for reading. I hope you enjoy!”
