About

Paul Manna of 24-7 Entertainment is rejoining forces with Brian and Scott Recher to bring back one of Maryland’s most beloved showrooms, the former Recher Theatre, which will now simply be known as The Recher.
 
The Recher upgrades include a new stage, flooring, and sound and lighting. 
 
“I’m fully aware the touring industry has drastically changed since Recher’s heyday, but returning to the Baltimore landscape is a much needed option for local/national touring artists and area fans,” Manna said in a statement. “
In its previous life The Recher hosted the likes of Iggy PopLinkin Park, SlayerKeb MoVince Gill, and The White Stripes. Technically located in Towson, Md., The Recher hosted 275 shows a year from 1997 to 2011, thanks to support from fellow independent promoters IMP and Walther Productions. The venue closed in 2013 and opened as Torrent Nightclub in 2014.

The building itself was originally a 1920s vaudeville theatre, which was sold to the Recher family who operated it as a cinema in the 1950s. Brothers Brian, Scott and Steve converted into a billiard parlor in the ’90s and Manna started booking shows there in ’97.

Some of the stand-out bookings by Manna were artists early in their careers like The Avett BrothersHalestorm, All Time Low, Cage The ElephantO.A.R., Dierks BentleyJoe BonamassaShinedownBrandi CarlileSilversun PickupsAgainst Me!, Thirty Seconds to MarsVolbeat, Old Crow Medicine ShowGaslight AnthemBrett DennenVertical HorizonJonas BrothersParamoreCitizen Cope and many others.
