Background

Eileen got her start in community theater in South Bend, Indiana. After moving back to Northeast Ohio where she grew up, she went on to perform professionally at venues throughout the Cleveland area. She was a member of the original cast of The Midnight Martini Show at Pickwick & Frolic in downtown Cleveland (pictured), a show which ran for almost 5 years, which is probably the longest-running show in Cleveland history. During the run, the cast was featured in the New York Times, USA Today, and on Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels.

Eileen has also performed in numerous local theatrical productions on stages including Weathervane Playhouse, Cassidy Theater and Playhouse Square. She has also been featured on the Mighty Wurlitzer Radio Hour on WCLV singing standards and Broadway showtunes in an old-time radio format.

Currently, Eileen is the lead singer in the Demetrius Steinmetz Band. She has also been a featured vocalist with such great Cleveland jazz musicians as Joe Hunter, Mike Petrone, Ray Porrello, and the Dukes of Wail at venues ranging from Fat Fish Blue to Nighttown. From time to time she returns to Pickwick for special engagements. Visit the News & Events page for info on where she'll be performing next.
