Michael Nau is a gifted singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose work encompasses a blend of indie folk, pop, and psychedelic influences. Emerging from the verdant music scene of Cumberland, Maryland, Nau first garnered attention as a member of the bands Page France and Cotton Jones, with the latter project cementing his reputation as an artist capable of crafting evocative soundscapes infused with a warm, nostalgic charm. After the release of several critically acclaimed albums with Cotton Jones, Nau ventured into a solo career that has been marked by a prolific outpouring of creativity.

With a gentle voice that carries a haunting, yet comforting quality, Nau's music is characterized by its introspective lyrics and laid-back instrumentation that often leaves listeners in a state of contemplative repose. His solo works, including the releases you've mentioned like "Accompany," "Tiny Flakes," and the reworked versions of "Sideways" and "Love Survive," showcase his ability to reinvent and delve deeper into his musical ideas. The compilation "Demo Versions, 2014 to 2017" provides a raw and intimate glimpse into Nau's songwriting process, further highlighting his talent for capturing the nuanced emotions that course through our daily lives. Michael Nau remains a cherished artist within the independent music community, enchanting audiences with his thoughtful compositions and the sincerity that resonates through every melody.
