Singer/songwriter and rhythm guitarist, Fiona McEwen’s unique, melodic style can be described as contemporary folk/pop/rock with a touch of flamenco.
Fiona McEwen has been writing songs and playing music most of her life. Having studied recorder,
percussion, piano and viola while at school, in 1986 she sang backup in a band Pacific Roadshow which toured around the South Island, and started learning the guitar and writing her own songs. After bringing up three children, Fiona launched on the Auckland open mic scene in 2004 and has since performed at open mic nights
including Suede Bar, Diablo, Grand Central, Forde's Front Bench, PR Bar, Snatch and ‘Speakeasy’ at the
Classic Comedy Bar, and at city markets, folk clubs, festivals, including Prana New Year Festival and Titirangi Festival of Music, and various venues including Corban Estate Arts Centre, The Wine Cellar, Sky City, The Patriot, The Occidental, Elevation Cafe and The Dogs Bollix. Fiona was also the featured singer/songwriter on The Verona Sessions which screened live on Alt TV in August 2007.
