Previously he had played guitar in Tribrations, writing and singing their single Coromandel Gold. Tribrations played at the legendary Nambassa festivals and were based in Coroglen, Coromandel. After playing bass in various Auckland bands including The Neighbours and Hattie and the Hotshots he went on to produce his own album Stormwarning.
The FM Band features singer/ songwriter and rhythm guitarist Fiona McEwen. Her unique, melodic style can be described as contemporary folk/pop/rock with a touch of flamenco. Since launching on the Auckland open mic scene in 2004, Fiona McEwen has regularly performed throughout Auckland and Waitakere City at open mic nights, markets, festivals, venues and folk clubs including the Laingholm Fishing Club, home of the Titirangi Musos Co-op, with Steve Terry on guitar.
