A DJ booth will replace the existing stage.īoth Brian and Scott Recher look back nostalgically at their run as a music venue, with performers like Iggy Pop and The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir jumping out as acts they can't believe performed on their stage. The pair is excited about the new opportunities of the nightclub, which will feature a dance floor, new bar, and a 45-seat VIP area. You get an agent and he has the opportunity to sell 1,500 tickets opposed to our 650, where's he going to go every time." "It's just tough for us to compete," he said. On top of the loss of a once-reliable local scene, the Recher brothers say the Towson location has been squeezed out by larger venues in downtown Baltimore, such as Baltimore Soundstage and Rams Head Live. He pointed to All Time Low, which has a gold record and several major-label albums to their name, as a band that could consistently sell tickets to friends and family for the Sunday showcases.
"There were numerous local bands that could sell tickets consistently, and we could fill in around the touring acts."
"During that time period when we had all these national acts coming in, we also had that local scene where we could fill in (dates)," co-owner Scott Recher said. In recent years, the local music scene has declined along with the national scene, the owners of the Recher said.
"I felt that basically from Owings Mills to White Marsh, the Recher Theatre was the most convenient place to go see a show or play a show if you're a young, aspiring band," Ruocco said.
