Photo: Elisa Canali-Frazier (from her Facebook page) | By Jon Solomon, Westword | Prior to the start of the pandemic, Elisa Canali-Frazier had spent about four years at Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox, booking and running sound for smaller shows, doing graphic design and working the venue’s lights. But since she was doing so many different jobs there, she didn’t feel like she could specialize in any one thing.
Since Ophelia’s is still closed for remodeling, on a whim Canali-Frazier sent her résumé to Roxy on Broadway owner Paula Vrakas, who also runs the Roxy in Encinitas, California. Vrakas, who had brain surgery earlier this year, had been handling booking duties for the Denver location since the venue’s previous talent buyer Jake Miller moved to England. She had recently been talking to her general manager about hiring a new talent buyer, and before even posting the position, Vrakas hired Canali-Frazier.
While the new buyer officially starts at the beginning of September, Canali-Frazier already booked her first show, Los Mocochetes, on Friday, September 3.
