Since then his band has changed both name and members: from Luna in the 90s when he met bassist Britta Philips whom he later married to Dean and Britta (a musical duo comprised of himself and his wife) after Luna split up in 2005.

With a career now entering its’ fourth decade, Wareham is no stranger to these parts or the road for that matter, having toured hard and heavy with his previous outfits, the seminal bands Galaxie 500 and Luna.
