The Band

Kat Bayne

Vocals

Katt is a vocalist who moves easily through blues, jazz, and classic favourites, but the blues is where her heart is.
With Tempest, she brings that grit and soul to the front line — connecting through tone, feel, and the kind of presence that pulls a room in.

Brett Fowler

Guitar

Brett has played in many different bands and played many different genres of music over the years from rock to metal to jazz, Latin, classical music and blues.
Brett says that "the Blues feels like 'home' to me".

Rimaati Junior Teao

Guitar and Vocals

Rima is a guitarist and singer who loves performing for live audiences. 
He’s proud to be a member of the Tempest blues band and brings his energy and passion to every show.

Sean McCarthy

Bass Guitar

After a long time away from playing, Sean couldn't resist the urge to pick the bass up again.
He's played in bands in London and Auckland, such as BlueHeat550, The Jukes and The Flaming Mudcats, and played stages in the UK, all around New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, and in Austin, Texas and Chicago, Illinois.
With influences ranging from Willie Dixon, Calvin Jones, Dave Myers and Willie Kent, Sean says “It’s great to playing again, especially with a great bunch of people who share the same passion for the music.”

Wayne Smith

Drums

Wayne says he "enjoys being part of an experienced group of people who inspire him to learn and grow as a musician", just as much as he enjoys playing the songs, experimenting with ideas and contributing to the creative process.
