In 1959, The Recher family purchased The Towson Theatre and operated as a single screen Movie Theatre until it's closing in 1992. It was re-opened in 1996 by The Recher Brothers (Brian, Steve, and Scott) as Rec-Room Billiards. With its incredible acoustics and tapered design, it wasn't long before the inevitable was observed ; a natural for live music. In it's short time as a concert venue, The Rec-Room (a"Billards Room" at the time) developed a reputation as not only the best sounding room in Baltimore but a venue that many artists say has a great vibe.
In 1998, The Rec-Room hosted many diverse national and regional favorites such as Vertical Horizon, Moe, God Lives Underwater, Everything, Pat McGee Band, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Agents of Good Roots, String Cheese Incident, Laughing Colors, God Street Wine, Gibb Droll Band, Emmet Swimming, From Good Homes, Kelly Bell Band, Crack The Sky, All Mighty Senators, Fighting Gravity, Jah Works, Lake Trout and others.
The overwhelming amount of support & success of live music at the Rec Room prompted the Brothers in May 1999 to transform Rec-Room Billards into the Recher Theatre; a live music venue truly dedicated to providing the best national and regional talent possible. The Recher Theatre promises to fill a long standing void in the Baltimore Music Scene.
