With over two decades of experience in Chicago's music industry, Eufelia has curated unforgettable events as a talent buyer and producer since 1999. Despite a brief hiatus due to COVID-19, Eufelia's passion for creating memorable experiences has led to her return to event production. Although she once swore she'd never leave the city, Eufelia now resides in Wilmette, IL, with her daughter, two cats and an almost concerning love for all things science fiction.

Reena Calm: Reena Calm is a hilarious national treasure! A wordsmith who's material is autobiographical, silly, and charmingly inappropriate, pulling from a lifetime of questionable choices. Speaking of questionable choices, she converted a minivan to be able to headline in ALL 50 States!! Come out to hear some wild tales of sex, drugs and the open road (sprinkled with a ton of puns.) Reena is a one-of-a-kind talent and a grade-A-goof. You can get her book "Once A Pun A Time...Legend of a Sighs Queen" on Amazon. Reena's debut album "CALMEDY" topped the charts at #1 and can be heard on SiriusXM.

Since publication Steve has had recurring readings at Resistor art gallery and several iconic Chicago nightclubs including Subterranean and Livewire. He has also been invited to be the opening act for Pigface, Bellhead, Hate Dept. and is the opening act for several Riot fest acts, especially GBH the legendary Birmingham Hardcore band who request he open whenever they play Chicago.
Steve was a doorman at the most infamous clubs in Chicago and new
York during the glory days. When not beating the fuck out of idiots and having sex in the coatroom, he was the tour manager for several
legendary punk and industrial bands, including Killing Joke, Pigface,
Ministry and Naked Raygun.
But being an author of old glory stories isnβt a living , so he grinds at his day gig for 60 hours a a week so he can afford to live and tell stories.
Steve is currently working on the next collections called FUCK YOU
WEβRE FROM CHICAGO and HIGH AND OUTSIDE.
