Steve Apirana is one of the finest musicians currently working in Australasia. He is a gifted communicator, highly skilled guitarist and vocalist with an extraordinary sense of humour. He plays the blues and does gospel like no other. He has been playing in bands since the early seventies, playing support for such luminaries as Daddy Cool, Black Sabbath, Split Ends, and Dragon.

He is equally at home with his Martin Acoustic or his Fender Strat: his guitar expertise perfectly matched by his rich bluesy voice as he captivates audiences with his self-depreciating humour, as only a few can.
