Trouble at the Croc
According to an article in The Stranger the Crocodile Cafe’s main booker quit abruptly last week, due to personal conflicts with the venue’s owner Stephanie Dorgan. Peter Greenberg had been primary booker for the Crocodile since earlier this year, and had worked as an assistant booker at the venue for four years prior to quitting, according to the story.This is not surprising as many people involved in Seattle music have heard rumors swirling about the Crocodile’s business strategies for years. A year or two ago there was buzz about a musician who worked at the venue being wrongfully fired. The story mentions Portland band Viva Voce receiving a bad check from the venue. The Crocodile Cafe is located in Belltown at 2nd and Bell. It offers a full bar as well as a restaurant, and hosts a variety of shows including touring and local bands of every shape and size.
