Ted’s musical journey began in his teens with The Brakes, a rock’n’roll band that sparked a lifelong love of performing. He later played with The Edge, a four-piece rock covers band that gigged throughout the North Island, and went on to form Sammy and the Trog, performing both as a full band and a duo.

As a guitarist and vocalist, Ted brings years of experience and a genuine love for classic hits including plenty of Kiwi favourites to every Rewind performance. Together with Sam and Marcel, he’s part of the band’s vocal team, blending harmonies and sharing lead duties to help shape the band’s signature sound.

Sam picked up the guitar at age 12 and quickly discovered a natural talent for music. She began her journey as a solo guitarist, but it wasn’t long before her voice took centre stage. After fronting Sammy and the Trog, she developed a reputation for her ability to deliver strong lead vocals and create rich harmonies that lift the entire band’s sound.

Having performed for years as a duo with Ted, Sam now leads the vocal charge in Rewind, bringing a confident, engaging presence to every show. Her vocal range and style allow her to move effortlessly between genres. From heartfelt country ballads to punchy rock classics, including favourites by Pat Benatar and other iconic artists. Whether it’s a slow groove or a high energy hit, Sam delivers with clarity, emotion, and style.
