Rock music impresario and father of the modern music business

Born Wulf Wolodia Grajonca, Graham fled the Nazis as a child of the Kindertransport, and became one of the United States’ leading rock impresarios. Considered the father of the modern music business, Graham started San Francisco’s The Filmore and NYC’s The Filmore East, venues where Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Led Zepplin, and Cream performed. He passed away in a helicopter crash. (1931-1991)
