Birthday - Sep 9
Stew was born in the far north of Australia and grew up in Canberra. He started playing trumpet at the age of 10 and played in numerous high school bands. Stew actually has a piece of paper that says he's a musician…A diploma in Jazz music from ANU, Canberra.

Stew has played in every conceivable area of music…big bands, session work, musical theatre, live television. He even did a stint on a cruise ship. But, when it all come down to it, Stew would sell his soul for rock and roll…well, maybe not his soul…he sold his car once to pay for some recording though.

Stew has played with Australia's best, including Midnight Oil, Powderfinger, Hoodoo Gurus and Jimmy Barnes. He joined TOFOG in 1998 when they needed a trumpet player so that they could play 'Circus' on live TV…and just never left.

Stew is also the lead singer of his own outfit, CRACKSQUAD.
