Women In Music

Evangelia Livanos started at an accomplished independent booking agency in Philadelphia PA named Fata Booking Agency where she worked with most of the up and coming indie artists at that time. Fata Booking Agency was credited with working Jimmy Eat World, Saves the Day, Flogging Molly, Hot Water Music, Elliott, Engine Down, Blood Brothers Pretty Girls Make Graves to name a few. She then moved onto a bigger agency in 2004 when her bands were outgrowing Fata Booking Agency. That agency was called Face the Music where the roster was very much geared to the heavy side music, mostly metal. Danzig, Coheed and Cambria, Atreyu, Killswitch Engage, As I lay Dying, and Gym Class Heroes. All of her bands performed Warped Tour, Bamboozle Festivals, and toured internationally.

She was flourishing on the independent side of the business. During this time she discovered a band named Emanuel that changed her love for booking to management. When Face the Music was bought out by a larger agency in NYC everyone but her took their bands and began their careers there. Evange decided to go into management and was hired at a firm named A Fein Martini management who handles Good Charlotte, My Morning Jacket, Nada Surf and Flight of the Conchords. Here she spent a year learning from these others managers and then decided to form her own management firm under the umbrella of Warcon Records.

She partnered with John Germanario who has been in the business for almost 20 years and is most known for breaking Hawthorne Heights. However she missed working with metal bands and craved a more structured work environment. She was hired and resides at 5B Artist Management working under Cory Brennan with bands such as Slipknot, Stone Sour, Madina Lake, Black Tide, and State of Shock.

During her move to NYC she started having gatherings that brought together women in the music because she noticed there wasn't a tight support system. It started as happy hours, then brunches, then it turned into round table talks and more social gatherings. She started an online google group with 20 women that now has grown to almost 700 women. An organization that was dormant for 2 years approached her because they heard about her events and networking skills and they told her about Women in Music. A Non profit group that has been around for 22 years. They asked her to revamp it and now she is the proud president of this wonderful organization that is currently growing again.

Evangelia Livanos graduated in 2000 from the University of Scranton with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.
