Biography

Stephen Ewart toured Australia in the eighties with a number of bands, including Jo Jo Zep, Paul Kelly and the Dots and Kids in the Kitchen. He played trombone on the seminal Birthday Party tune "Nick the Stripper", which is a rare example of odd time punk. He's currently playing around south east Queensland, in a variety of bands, and continuing work on his 3rd CD, with the working title "No Go Zone". Two of his songs were on Big Backyard samplers a few years ago. I’ve had airplay around the world. 

As his producer and co writer David Williams, is currently in Tasmania, getting in the same place is proving difficult. His albums are "What It Is " and "Tell Me".
