Steven Ceo of Praying Mantis Entertaiment, Asst. Chris(D.O.C.),Mike(The Trammps) and Ech(Dawn Of Correction),we are booking local,regional and national shows in the Philly area. I have booked many venues on the east coast ,including: The Trocadero Philadelphia,CBGB New York, Kahunaville Delaware,World Cafe Live Philadelphia,Atlantic City House Of Blues NJ, Jaxx in Va., to name a few. I have worked in the music biz for over 25 years. In the 80’s , I was a lead singer/songwriter, for a hard rock band (MANTIS). We had some local airplay and opened national shows. In 1982 I managed Grammy award winners "THE TRAMMPS" ( w/ the hit song "Disco Inferno" from The Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack) on a tour of Europe. After that I started Mantis Entertainment. In 2005 ,I worked with an Indie label as a Vice President.I handled retail sales, press and bookings for the artists. I left to go back to my true love, LIVE SHOWS!! I am currently promoting local talent. I am always looking for new pop/ska/indie/rock/ hard rock/metal bands to work with.----------------------------------
