Ep. 238: FATA Booking w/ Eva Alexiou-Reo

This Was The Scene Podcast

Fata Booking is a North America-based, boutique booking agency and management firm. Founded in 1996 by Eva Alexiou-Reo, FATA has worked with and exponentially grown the careers of credible artists such as Jimmy Eat World, ​Hot Water Music, Flogging Molly, Elliott, ​Mae, ​Rusted Root, ​MC Lars,​ The Blood Brothers, Pretty Girls Make Graves​ and many more.​

Eva’s name always came up back in the day and I wanted to get her perspective of what it was like to grow a booking agency. With the help of Kim Heiner, I got Eva on the skype and this is what we chat about:

• The Wilkes-Barre scene
• Starting Fata Booking
• Advice from Kevin Lyman
• Should she write a book
• How are bands making money?
• how has she gotten bands
• Pretty girls make graves
• Venues taking a cut of merch
• And a ton more
