Steven Leflar, Eric Symons

Grand Theft, Swindlers

Cotati, California, 94931

In a desperate attempt to hide his identity and criminal reputation, Steven Leflar has AGAIN changed his business name and web site! First it was Star Sounds Productions, then Simply The Best Entertainment, then STB DJs, then DJ SRL, and now.... " Steven's Music " Of course he doesn't mention his name anywhere on his web site: www.stevensmusic.biz. Avoid this criminal. Steven's Music has ripped off over 20 bands, musicians,DJs, and vendors for a total of over $200,000. He has been found guilty of theft twice (so far) in Contra Costa County. He has since fled to the Elk Grove area. He is now doing business with Eric Symons, whom he inserted as "owner" of Simply The Best Entertainment to hide his identity and keep bill collectors away.

The law suits listed are regarding North Bay Entertainment, a partnership between Thomas Schoenberger and Steven Leflar. I am the sole owner of Simply the Best Entertainment. This law suit was against one of the partners in NBE and pre-dates the founding of STB in June of 2010.

This is the work of cyber stalker Thomas Schoenberger, who is mad because of the web site www.northbaye.net. I did not create this site and do not have control over its content. Steven Leflar is not an owner of my company, and I have no employees. Therefore this is simply stalking of my company, which has no debt to artists.

I also have a letter of reccommendation from Gig Xifaras from Associates Entertainment, who is the plaintiff in both suits, and I am his valed associate and customer. Please feel free to contact him at gig@associatedentertainment.com. He will gladly verify the specifics of the suit, and my standing as a prefered client and associate.

Please note that I was not a party to either suit, although I did work for Schoenberger and Leflar.

I am happy to have my own business that is honest, I am tired of being stalked by my former employer, Thomas Schoenberger.
Here is my actual letter of recommendation from GIg Xifaras, the Plaintif in the suit mentioned against my company:

Re: Eric Symons
Simply the Best Entertainment
654 Lanyard Court
Rohnert Park, CA 94928

To whom it may concern,

Our talent agency has partnered with Eric Symons for over ten years and during that time, has found him to be an honest and upstanding representative of talent in and around the Greater Bay Area.

He is a man of his word, detailed in his contracting and dedicated to both his clients and the musicians and entertainers that he represents.

Working with his has been a pleasure and we look forward to a long lasting relationship.

In addition to his knowledge of the music industry from an agent’s standpoint, he is one of the most talented classical guitarists in the nation and is always our first call when it comes to classical music.

Best regards,



Gig Xifaras
Director of Operations
