Biography Example: Amanda, Venue Manager

Amanda’s love for music has been an integral part of her life since her first Raffi concert, when she took the stage to sing along to Baby Beluga.

With a knack for pulling off the logistics behind live performances, she’s built a professional career around insuring concerts and shows go off without a hitch. From Bon Jovi to Beyonce to Mariah Carey, she’s handled the biggest names and the largest crowds. From managing a two-stage bar in downtown Chicago to directing operations for a 15,000-seat theater, she knows her way around venues of all sizes, shapes and layouts.

Known affectionately as “Cucumber,” her cool-headedness under pressure is legendary. She can find a solution for an oversold show, get someone to fix a critical leak and calm an anxious artist, all before the lights go down.

She’s a master of her craft – a juggler, a leader, a negotiator. When a problem (any problem) arises, she’s the woman you want behind the curtain. Call her the Wizard of Oz of the live music industry.
