Undertow was formed in 2004 as an improvised Jazz trio with a DIY Punk aesthetic. The trio of Michael Baker (bass & piano), Josh Beatty (saxophones), and Henry Mayer (drums & Electronics) recorded the Elmhurst Sessions in 2007 and performed throughout Chicago until 2011. Henry passed away in 2022. Josh & Michael decided to reform the group after playing at Henrys memorial gathering.
