As a impresario, community activist and
professional musician; Steve Eastis offers a three decade legacy of providing the widest range of professional community,
public, professional and corporate entertainment needs.
Beginning as a keyboard player as a child, Eastis studied percussion throughout his early years as a student to become
the Inland Empire’s premier session and live performance drummer, percussionist, arranger, event producer and instructor.
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.
