Stephen Sesnick is an American inventor, entrepreneur, and businessman, who also had an earlier career as a rock club and rock band manager.
Sesnick was manager of the Boston Tea Party, a seminal Boston nightclub, founded in 1967, which was the first in Boston to spearhead the burgeoning psychedelic rock and underground rock scene, and which also help break bands which went on to become major stars. Sesnick was replaced in 1968 by Don Law.
The Velvet Underground shows at the Tea Party were particularly notable and the band became especcially popular in Boston. Sesnick became manager the Velvet Underground after the band ended their association Andy Warhol in 1967.
Over the next few years, Sesnick influenced the group members to move toward a more commercial direction in their music.. Doug Yule joined the band when John Cale quit, and Lou Reed later accused Sesnick of driving "a wedge between" him and Yule during the recording of Loaded in 1970.
Sesnick owned the tapes that were to become 1969: The Velvet Underground Live. Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker signed over their rights to the tapes for $1500 each (US$9,267 in 2023 dollars).
