About

GRöli Music is a booking agency, artist management & tour service company based in Berlin, Germany. Truth be told, it’s has been a one-woman army lead by myself, Eva Rölen, since 2018 and I’ve been a solo entrepreneur since. So, hi! Nice to meet you and thank you for checking out my page. I guess you’re here to hear a little bit about myself. Here we go:

Like most of the people who end up in music business, I am a a musician myself. A former wanna-be-rockstar who changed to the dark side of the nitty-gritty world of music business when things got real. I have been active in live music since 2005, with working full-time in music industry since 2009.

When school was over and my my first punk band managed to pull off their 50th show, I decided to move to the Netherlands to get a  bachelor degree in international music management. Since then I have worn many hats in the event industry: Starting with internships in event bars and DIY Festivals, moving on to full-time jobs as a promoter (White Trash Fast Food, DE Berlin), then slowly morphed into the booking world as an agent (Audiolith Booking DE Berlin, Destiny Tourbooking DE Berlin) I pulled back by promoting shows- and festivals independently while eventually starting to work as tour manager and merchandiser for various bands and venues. All while still trying to remain a practicing musician myself.

After feeling the waters for over 9 years it was time to fly solo in 2018, starting my own little agency “GRöli Music”. Why leaving secure full-time jobs in prestigious venues and agencies you ask? Well. Booking is a VERY boring task if you are not fire and flame for who you work with. Bosses are lame (most of them, not all!). Most bands I booked and worked with over the years were 80% 40+ years old male artists, who had been around for decades. And most of them were buddies of my 40+ year old male bosses.

I loved what I did, but the how and who and where needed a little upgrade.
I wanted my own buddies! I asked myself: Where are all the ladies at in Rock Music? Why are they not on stage? And maybe, one day, I could be a pain-in-the-ass to my employers too.
