PSYKO STEVE

About Me

In the fall of 2000 I started promoting concerts in Phoenix under the moniker “Psyko Steve Presents.” I have done shows for unsigned acts as well as major label “buzz bands” always with the focus of developing the best new bands. Since my name has always been on the fliers I have always felt a personal responsibility to produce divers and unique line-ups and to create the best events possible. This dedication to the highest quality acts and best quality events has led to critical acclaim. At only 23 the Arizona Republic was already calling me a “veteran promoter,” and the Phoenix New Times has said, "Being a seasoned promoter, Chilton has a good idea of what kids want."
In 2006 I slowed down on promoting shows to go out on the road tour-managing bands (DeSole, The Stiletto Formal and most recently TwoPointEight on Flogging Molly’s Green 17 Tour). Currently “Psyko Steve Presents” is not actively producing shows.
