     Eastis’ long background in performance, music education and event production allow him to combine his session-level precision and sight-reading skills to a long background of live performance in the widest variety of venues and musical styles.

     From performing and arranging Musical Theatre pit Orchestra and Swing – style Big Band configurations to performing in popular Rock & Roll bands to meeting the stringent authenticity requirements of Blues, Surf and Country Western bands; Eastis’ diversity of experience and education have made him one of the most sought after presences on the Inland Empire music scene.
