Marc Geiger

Co-Founder & CEO, SaveLive

As a teenage college student at UC San Diego, Marc Geiger began his now 40-year career booking bands into local, small, independent clubs. As he grew in his career, as an agent at Triad Artists, then working side-by-side with Rick Rubin as Def American/American Recordings became an independent label success, Geiger has always been interested in “doing something a little different.” Whether it’s creating one of the preeminent global music festivals, Lollapalooza, with Jane’s Addiction front man Perry Farrell or starting dotcom disrupter ARTISTdirect with Lolla co-founder Don Muller, Geiger is interested in delivering a quality experience to fans.

Always an early adopter of technology, Geiger’s mission for ARTISTdirect was simple, be the first internet company designed to create a connection between artists and their fans. Using early ecommerce platforms, streaming technology, and building a strong, devoted, smart team of like-minded music and technology enthusiasts, Geiger’s reputation for consistently trying new things was solidified.

In 2003, Geiger moved to the William Morris Agency and, after its merger with Endeavor, moved up to run the global music division for the newly minted WME until early 2020.

True to his roots, Geiger formed SaveLive in 2020 to support independent music venues impacted by the COVID pandemic. By creating a network of industry veterans, SaveLive can offer talent buying, marketing, analytical analysis, and other lines of business that was previously out-of-reach for smaller venues but readily available to larger venue holders.
