Stuck in the Middle

Stuck In the Middle (SIM) is Middlebury Colleges favorite a cappella group. Hailing from the Green Mountains of Vermont, this all-male group was founded by a guy looking to use SIM to find his first real, not plastic girlfriend. It worked. Sorta. Since 2002, the group has blossomed, performing all up and down the East Coast as well as internationally in Japan. While SIM does not participate in a cappella competitions, the group has an affinity for putting on fun and accessible performances both on and off campus. SIM has recorded two studio albums with a third to be released in 2010.

Released 2008

Melophonophobia means "the fear of a cappella" and is Stuck In the Middle's second studio album. Recorded in the summer of 2007 at TapeWorks in Connecticut and released in the spring of 2008, the album upholds the philosophy that a cappella should be fun and accessible above all else. It features songs from Three Dog Night's classic "Joy to the World" to Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" to the Postal Service's "Such Great Heights." With variety and pizazz, the album not only sounds good, it feels good too.
