Michael Trew is singer, composer and muli-instrumentalist, native to the Pacific Northwest. He began playing in lo-fi rock groups, and went on to study folk, rock, European and Indian classical music. During these years, he spent time with teacher Chandana Dixit, exploring raaga, as well as performing in local progressive rock bands.
In 2005 he formed The Undercover Llamas. Though short lived, his musical friendship with keyboardist/vocalist Naomi Smith would lead to the formation of Autumn Electric. The band went on to release five albums between 2008 and 2015. During this time, Michael embarked on a solo US tour (2011), as well as opening for Euopean artist Marius Ziska (2012), along with several band tours.
The last two years have seen a break from major touring, and with Autumn Electric on hold, Michael signed with Natural Cut Records to release his debut solo effort, Watiting in the Wings in 2017.
