Immersed in the music business for almost a decade before entering the field of law, Greg Eveline knows first-hand things they don’t teach you in law school. Now a nationally recognized expert in entertainment industry law, he was a record retailer, distributor and producer before becoming a successful manager and concert promoter with clients such as R.E.M., Billy Idol, Marianne Faithful and the Dead Kennedys, to name a few.
Greg knows the fiercely competitive music marketplace from the inside. His work on gold albums includes Deadeye Dick’s New Age Girl and Lil Flipp’s The Way We Ball for Sony. As co-founder of the well-known Metronome Records store, he successfully retailed a full range of artists; and as President of Plan B Promotions, Inc. concert promotions, and New Orleans Management , Inc., artist management and concert promotion, he created personal success for artists on a very detailed and hands-on level. Add to that Greg’s music production experience, which includes Sound of Dharma by the Drikung Kayqu Monks, the tribute to Boozoo Chavis, Uni/Fuel 2000, and John Thomas Griffith of Cowboy Mouth.
Working extensively in film, Greg has licensed the music for a wide variety of major releases and independent films including Hurricane on the Bayou, Dumb & Dumber, Make Em Dance, Holes, Desperado, and Jackass and served as General Counsel for Lindy Boggs: Steel & Velvet.
