Tobias "Bias" Boshell is an English songwriter and musician, best known as the founder of the folk rock band Trees.
He was born in Wye, Kent, was educated at Bedales and the Royal College of Music. Tobias formed Trees in 1969 with Celia Humphris on vocals, Barry Clarke on lead guitar, Unwin Brown on drums/vocals, and David Costa on acoustic guitar & dulcimer. Bias sang and played bass, guitar and piano on their two CBS albums, The Garden of Jane Delawney and On the Shore, and wrote much of their material. On the Shore was remastered in January 2007 and re released on CD.
