Michael “Mike” Stewart (April 19, 1945 – November 13, 2002) was the co-founder and guitarist for We Five.
Life and career
Stewart was the brother of John Stewart (1939 – 2008), a one-time member of The Kingston Trio and later a successful singer-songwriter, and the father of Jamie Stewart, frontman of the avant-garde group Xiu Xiu.
He left the music industry in the early 1990s and became a computer programmer. He later played bass in his son's band The Indestructible Beat of Palo Alto (IBOPA).[1]
Stewart died on November 13, 2002, reportedly a result of "a long illness."[2] However, Jamie Stewart has acknowledged that his father's death was a suicide.[3]
The track "Mike" from Xiu Xiu's album Fabulous Muscles concerns Jamie's reaction to his father's death.
Wounds to Bind: A Memoir of the Folk-Rock Revolution, a reminiscence by We Five co-founder Jerry Burgan incorporating Burgan's childhood friendship with Stewart, pondered Stewart's life, death and creative drive.[4]
