VELENA VEGO
Can you share a top Athens memory?
It would have to be booking Nirvana in 1991 because I knew they were going to break and we got them before they broke. We caught them right at the moment, and it was also the start of my career for booking all these years.
TALENT BUYER FOR 40 WATT CLUB
No one knows the music scene better than local Velena Vego, who came to Athens in the early 80s with her sister and their girl band. After visiting the 40 Watt Club and asking for a job there, answering the phones, Velena has made a name for herself as a top talent buyer. She’s booked over 6,000 shows from popular names like Nirvana and R.E.M. to John Mayer and indie artists, putting Athens on the global map. Music is her passion, especially in a magical place like Athens.
What is the best hidden gem in Athens?
I love Maepole, it’s so good and fast, and I think it’s unique because they’re an independent restaurant.
Which local event is your favorite?
Probably the Cracker 4 Day Fan Festival that’s held in March. You get these die-hard “crumbs” as they’re called, and I get to pick the bands that open my husband’s rock band, known as Cracker. This event also brings in so many touring acts from out of town for these shows.
